Poem of the Day: "Hope" is the thing with feathers - (314)
<http://thepoetryfoundation.cmail20.com/t/r-l-vldlux-trjrihilkj-i/> 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.
