"Hope" is the thing with feathers -
That perches the soul -
And sings the tune without the -
And never stops - at all -
And - in the Gale - is heard -
And must be the storm -
That could abash the Bird
That kept so many warm -
I've heard in the chillest land -
And on the strangest -
Yet - never - in Extremity,
It asked crumb - of me.
