Hope Is The Thing With Feathers - Poem 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.

    Keep on hoping, you lazy bums
    keep on warming your hearts
    thinking of lovers, riches, luxuries
    keep on waiting for your prince
    charming who never comes

    Except once in a billion trillion times
    you may win a lottery and the prince
    may mistakenly stumble on your door
    and you hold him in your arms
    thinking as your own, foolishly,
    Keep on dreaming, hoping
    Like the Emily's little Bird
    it will cost you nothing.
    You dreamers, lazy bums. (Report) Reply

    Hope is the bridge needed to move from the past to our future. As the poetess said Hope is the thing with feathers. The hope we possess will take us over on its wings. A beautiful poem in deed. (Report) Reply

    Emily Dickinson was in many respects a dark and Gothic poet. The more you study her, the more you see a cognitive genius thinking through complex issues with originality and insight. This poem on the bird of hope seems to be more optimistic than many of her works, but I think we should proceed with caution. Hope never stops at all and constantly sings to us but is it really just diverting us from things we don't want to think about. I think. It is important to notice what hope cannot achieve, and that is solving our problems. You need to probe the subtext of this poem to see it is positive than it seems. (Report) Reply
