“Hope” is the thing with feathers

AMG

By Emily Dickinson

 “Hope” is the thing with feathers 

AMG

That perches in the soul -

And sings the tune without the words -

And never stops - at all -

Theo (2022)

And sweetest - in the Gale - is heard -

And sore must be the storm -

That could abash the little Bird

That kept so many warm -

AMG (2022)

I’ve heard it in the chillest land -

And on the strangest Sea -

Yet - never - in Extremity,

It asked a crumb - of me.

 “Hope” is the thing with feathers
