Meme-ish: Favorite Poem

[butterfly]

This is my favorite poem in existence.

"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.

by Emily Dickinson

It's a beautiful poem. Has a lot of sentimental meaning to me, as well.

And thank you for the invitation, but I've never really gotten into sorting communities. If I do decide to change my mind, I'll definitely check the community out.
