Answer 1

In Emily Dickinson’s poem “Hope is the thing with feathers,” hope is metaphorically transformed into a strong-willed bird that lives within the human soul and sings its song no matter what. The poem was published posthumously in her second collection by her sister circa 1891. The poem seeks to remind readers of the power of hope and how little it requires of people. The speaker makes it clear that hope has been helpful in times of difficulty and has never asked for anything in return.
