Explanation:

Ans

I've heard it in the chillest land, And on the strangest sea; Yet, never, in extremity, It asked a crumb of me. This poem uses an extended metaphor to compare hope to a bird inside oneself that never stops singing its tune. A gale is a storm, and that is when the bird's song is sweetest.

Hope never asks for anything for return, or as Emily Dickinson puts it, it "never-in Extremity/(. . .) asked a crumb of me." Using an extended metaphor , Dickinson imagines hope as a bird permanently perched in the human soul. It's always there, singing merrily away each and ever day

When it comes to the symbolic meaning of storms, we are talking about a kind of frenetic energy. That means we are dealing with unpredictability, high-charged, almost hyper energy.

In her poem "Hope is the Thing with Feathers," American poet Emily Dickinson creates an extended metaphor. It compared the hope that is common to the human soul to a small, singing bird.

Sore” here means “harsh” or “terrible.” “Abash” is “shame.” Here, the bird of hope keeps people warm, not even just the person who has it. This last stanza says that even though the bird of hope has sung its song in the hardest of times and never asked for even a crumb of payment.

In the poem, "Hope" is metaphorically transformed into a strong-willed bird that lives within the human soul—and sings its song no matter what. Essentially, the poem seeks to remind readers of the power of hope and how little it requires of people.
