Hope is the thing with feathers
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 —
Description
Hope imagined as a small bird that never stops singing.
Meaning
Resilience as something quiet and constant, strongest in the hardest weather.
