 Hope
 by Emily Dickinson
 
 
 
 Hope is the thing with feathersThat 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 chilliest landAnd on the strangest sea;
 Yet, never, in extremity,
 It asked a crumb of me.
