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 Gale1 — is heard —
And sore2 must be the storm —
That could abash3
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,4
It asked a crumb — of Me
