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;
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.
“Emily Dickinson”
