Hope is the thing with feathers
——Emily Dickinson
Hope is the thing with feathers
And sing the tune 2 without the words
And never stops at all
And sweetest in the gale 3 is heard
And sore must be the storm
That could abashed 4 the little bird
That kept so many warm
I've heard it in the chillest land
And on the strangest sea
It asked a crumb 6 of me
希望长着翅膀
希望是长着翅膀的鸟儿，
栖居在人们的灵魂之中，
吟唱着没有歌词的曲调，
永无止息。
在风暴中它的歌声最为甜美；
风暴必然会带来痛苦，
风暴会令小鸟窘困惊慌，
它却留给我们如斯温暖。
我已在最荒寒的陆地上，
听到过经的歌唱，
也在最陌生的海洋中听到，
但它纵然身处绝境，
也不向我索取分毫。
