Hope

  "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.
