Read the poem "‘Hope’ is the thing with feathers -” by Emily Dickinson.
Line
4 "Hope” is the thing with feathers -
That perches in the soul -
And sings the tune without the words -
And never stops - at all -
8 And sweetest - in the Gale - is heard - And sore must be the storm -
That could abash the little Bird
That kept so many warm -
12 I’ve heard it in the chillest land -
And on the strangest Sea -
Yet - never - in Extremity,
It asked a crumb - of me.
The "little Bird" in line 7 symbolizes
hope.
the storm.
the Sea.
Extremity.
