Read the poem "Hope Is the Thing with Feathers," by Emily Dickinson.

Hope Is the Thing with Feathers

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 chillest land

and on the strangest sea,

Yet, never in extremity,

It asked a crumb of me.

What is the theme of this poem?

Without hope, people are not human.

Hope does not give up, even when life is difficult.

People hope for things that do not come true.

Spring is a hopeful season.
