Sonnet


"Hope is the thing with feathers  
That perches in the soul,  
And sings the tune--without the words, 
 And never stops at all, 
And sore must be the storm  
That could abash the little bird  
That kept so many warm. 
And on the strangest sea;  
Yet, never, in extremity, 
 It asked a crumb of me."  

~Emily Dickinson
