Hope Is The Thing With Feathers - Poem by Emily Dickinson

Autoplay next video

'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.

But it isn't a sonnet, not having 14 lines. Is it? (Report) Reply

So, deeply moving. Found a home in my heart, only one feather not even a bird. Practically scripture. (Report) Reply

Stop the “and dash“. Just pause and read on. Totally wreaked the poem. Lost all flow. Awful. (Report) Reply
