Puzzle #423

[ChrisH]

Hope is the thing -ith feathers
That per-hes in the so-l,
And sings the t-ne -itho-t the -ords,
And never stops at all,

And s-eetest in the gale is heard;
And sore --st -e the stor-
That -o-ld a-ash the little -ird
That -ept so -an- -ar-.

I’ve heard it in the -hilliest land,
And on the strangest sea;
-et, never, in e-tre-it-,
It as-ed a -r--- of -e.

I’ve heard it in the -hilliest land,
And on the strangest sea;
-et, never, in e-tremit-,
It as-ed a -r-m- of me.

The Duck has solved it!

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 chilliest land,
And on the strangest sea;
Yet, never, in extremity,
It asked a crumb of me.


Emily Dickinson
