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

The could abash the little bird

That kept so many warm

I've head it in the chilliest land-

And on the strangest sea

Yet, never, in extremity,

did it ask a crumb of me.

-Emily Dickinson
