Day Eighty-Six- 3/27/11 Learn a Poem by Heart

Day Eighty-Six: 3/27/11
New Thing: Learn a Poem by Heart      
Inspiration: Emily Dickinson, This Book Will Change Your Life         
Cost: $0
Time: About 30 mins.              
Bottom Line: Hope is indeed a thing with feathers. 

   
Reflection: Today, thanks to a recommendation from the book, This Book Will Change Your Life, (thanks again Paige!) I memorized "Hope is a Thing With Feathers" by Emily Dickinson. I have put a video of myself up here as well as a blooper reel and an attempt to recite it on a roller-coaster.

   

Hope is a Thing With Feathers

by Emily Dickinson

Hope is a thing with feathers

That perches in the soul,

And sings a tune without 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 keeps so may warm. 

I've heard it in the chilliest land,

And on the strangest sea;

Yet, never, in extremity,

It ask a crumb of me.
