“Hope is the thing with feathers” - [SSC8 POETRY]

-persona from my vocals [Mel-odY] [SSC8 POERTY CHALLENGE] "Emily Dickinson’s poem “Hope is the thing with feathers” Written around 1861 and published posthumously in 1891, it is composed of three quatrains in common meter with slant rhyme and her characteristic use of dashes and capitalized nouns. The poem presents hope as a bird that lives within the human soul, singing continuously even through storms and hardships, symbolizing resilience and inner strength. It emphasizes hope as a constant, self-sustaining force that requires nothing in return and endures quietly through adversity. ------------------------♡ Ahh, oohh, mmm Hope is the thing with feathers That perches in the soul And sings the tune without the words And never stops at all Ooohahh Through the veil Hold this feeling And sweetest in the gale is heard And sore must be the storm That could abash the little bird That kept so many warm Blown away, blown away I drift You follow I call You echo And never stops at all And never stops at all One day, one day In the memory, in the memory Ahh, yaah, mmm I’ve heard it in the chilliest land And on the strangest sea Yet never in extremity It asked a crumb of me Far but near, far but near That perches in the soul That perches in the soul Carried by a cosmic wind Love survives dimensions And sings the tune without the words And never stops at all Blown away, blown away I reach You rise I drift You follow And never stops at all And never stops at all One day, one day Love abyss, love abyss Time folds here Ahh, oooh, mmm That perches in the soul That perches in the soul We rise in light ---------------------------♡
