Hope" is the thing with feathers -
That perches in the soul -
And sweetest - in the Gale - is heard -
Yet - never - in Extremity,
That kept so many warm -
And on the strangest Sea -
It asked a crumb - of me.
And never stops - at all -
And sings the tune without the words -
That could abash the little Bird
I've heard it in the chillest land -
And sore must be the storm -
