"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
I've heard it in the chillest land
And on the strangest Sea
Yet, never, in Extremity,
It asked a crumb—of Me.
Emily Dickinson
Without hope, there are no dreams of tomorrow.
Dare to dream, dare to hope.
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.
Emily Dickinson
Without hope, there are no dreams of tomorrow.
Dare to dream, dare to hope.
