Read the excerpt from "Hope' is the thing with feathers
by Emily Dickinson.
"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've heard it in the chillest land-
And on the strangest Sea-
Yet-never-in Extremity.
It asked a crumb - of me.
