by Elaine / Original by Emily Dickinson

Hope” is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul
And sings the tune without the words
And never stop 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 ask a crum– of Me.

Hope is Chichi.
