Thanks to Amy McEntee for sharing Emily Dickinson’s poem via facebook:
Hope is a 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.
