< < < High from the earth I heard a bird
Hope (Hope is the thing with feathers) > > >

Hope

Hope is a subtle glutton;

   He feeds upon the fair;

And yet, inspected closely,

   What abstinence is there!

His is the halcyon table

   That never seats but one,

And whatsoever is consumed

   The same amounts remain.
