HOPE IS THE THING WITH FEATHERS

by EMILY DICKINSON

“Hope” is the thing with feathers-
That perches in the soul-
And sings the tune without the words-
And never stops -at all-
And sweetest -in the Gale- is heard-
And sore must be the storm-
That could abash the little Bird-
That kept so many warm-
I´ve heard it in the chillest land-
And on the strangest sea-
Yet, never, in Extremity,
It asked a crumb- of Me.
