Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul and sings the tune without words and never stops at all.

One need not be a Chamber — to be Haunted — One need not be a House — The Brain has Corridors — surpassing Material Place —

I'm nobody! Who are you? Are you nobody, too? Then there ’s a pair of us—don’t tell! They ’d banish us, you know. How dreary to be somebody! How public, like a frog To tell your name the livelong day To an admiring bog!

The Heart wants what it wants - or else it does not care

'Hope' is the thing with feathers That perches in the soul - And sings the tune without words And never stops - at all.
