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 .
          
                  Emily Dickinson
