Hope is a Thing With Feathers by Emily Dickinson 

Hope is a thing with feathers
That perches in the soul
And sings a tune without 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 keeps so many warm.

I've heard it in the chilliest land
And on the strangest sea
Yet, never, in extremity
It ask a crumb of me.
 Emily  Dickinson

    Thank you for all your comments on my blog.  Apologies for not visiting sooner!

    I love Emily Dickinson.  I'm a big poetry fan and post some on my blog now and again.  Click on poetry in the side bar to see.  I don't know whether you're familiar with a modern English poet called Henry Normal?  I love his poems.

    There's one here: http://fashionsmostwanted.blogspot.com/2009/11/nude-modelling-for-afterlife.html

    Hope you have a lovely weekend xx

    Hmmm. Don't like the rhyme and metre. Must have been something in the water that Dickinson and Longfellow were drinking.
