Hope is the thing with feathers


Hope" is the thing with feathers—


That perches 1 in the soul—


And sings the tune 2 without the words—


And never stops—at all—


And sweetest — in the Gale— is heart—


And sore must be the storm—


That could abash 3 the little bird—


That kept so many warm—


I've heard it in the chilliest 4 land—


And on the strangest Sea—


Yet, never, in Extremity 5,


It asked a crumb 6 — of me.


------Emily Dickinson


希望是鸟儿


希望是鸟儿,


在人们心灵栖居,


唱着无词的歌儿,


永无止息。


心灵是甜蜜的避风港


只有猛烈的风暴,


才能威胁希望,


这慰藉心灵的小鸟。


它歌唱在最寒冷的地方


最陌生的海洋


纵然身处绝境,


也不索取分毫。


----爱米莉·狄更生
