" HOPE " IS THE THING WITH FEATHERS.

" 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 HAVE HEAR'D IT IN THE CHILLEST LAND -

          AND ON THE STRONGEST SEN - 

YET - NEVER - IN EXTREMITY ,

         IT ASKED A CRUMB - OF ME .
