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 kept so many warm

I’ve heard it in the chilliest land-

And on the strangest sea-

Yet, never, in Extremity,

It asked a crumb- of me.
