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 BirdThat kept so many warm -Ive heard it in the chillest land -And on the strangest Sea -Yet - never - in Extremity,It asked a crumb - of me.
