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 chillest land,  
And on the strangest sea;         
Yet, never, in extremity,  
It asked a crumb of me. -Emily Dickinson

Which  affects the tone or mood of the poem by making it seem simple and calm when it actually has a deeper meaning. ]]> 2017-12-11 08:44:28 UTC https://padlet.com/jsantoyo204866/3tzacikkh0qk/wish/214924938 jsantoyo204866 https://padlet.com/jsantoyo204866/3tzacikkh0qk/wish/214938639 "Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul  and sings the tune without the words and never stops at all." This part of the poem means that hope is deep within us and is always there. ]]> 2017-12-11 09:47:23 UTC https://padlet.com/jsantoyo204866/3tzacikkh0qk/wish/214938639 jsantoyo204866 https://padlet.com/jsantoyo204866/3tzacikkh0qk/wish/214939335  "sweetest in the gale is heard" this means that hope is the best to have during hard times. ]]> 2017-12-11 09:49:39 UTC https://padlet.com/jsantoyo204866/3tzacikkh0qk/wish/214939335 jsantoyo204866 https://padlet.com/jsantoyo204866/3tzacikkh0qk/wish/214940018 "And sore must be the storm that could abash the little bird" This means that something terrible must happen for someone to lose hope. ]]> 2017-12-11 09:52:00 UTC https://padlet.com/jsantoyo204866/3tzacikkh0qk/wish/214940018 jsantoyo204866 https://padlet.com/jsantoyo204866/3tzacikkh0qk/wish/214941265 "I've heard it in the chillest land, and on the strangest sea; yet, never, in extremity, it asked a crumb of me." 
No matter how hard life gets you will always hope for it to get better. ]]> 2017-12-11 09:57:00 UTC https://padlet.com/jsantoyo204866/3tzacikkh0qk/wish/214941265 jsantoyo204866 https://padlet.com/jsantoyo204866/3tzacikkh0qk/wish/215656195 The poem's form doesn't have any important significance and the diction is pretty simple. ]]> 2017-12-13 01:44:04 UTC https://padlet.com/jsantoyo204866/3tzacikkh0qk/wish/215656195
