Hope Is The Thing With Feathers A Famous Poem by Emily Dickinson "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. No Nation Can Hope Poet: Roy L. Smith No nation can hope - For prosperity so long as millions are denied opportunity. For peace that does not cultivate the goodwill of other nations. For honor which does not respect other nation's honor. For safety which does not deal openly with other nations. For international respect which does not respect international opinion. For profitable trade which undertakes to get all the profits. For permanence which defies the moral order of the universe. Don't Let The Song Go Our Of Your Life Poet: Kate R. Stiles Don't let the song go out of your life; Though it chance sometimes to flow In a minor strain, it will blend again With the major tone, you know. What though shadows rise to obscure life's skies, And hide for a time the sun; They sooner will lift, and reveal the rift, If you let the melody run. Don't let the song go out of your life; Ah! it never would need to go. If with thought more true and a broader view We looked at this life below. Oh! Why should we moan that life's springtime has flown, Or sigh for the fair summer time? The autumn hath days filled with paeans of praise. And the winter hath bells that chime. Positive Hope Poet: Catherine Pulsifer, �2020 We can lose many things in life We may find we have had our share of strife But the one thing you never want to loose Is your hope, you get to choose. You can stay focused on the negative today You can blame others in every way But at the end of it all, Our hope will prevent us from a fall. You see focusing on things will get better Will keep our lives centered To look forward with positive hope Rather than sit around and mope. The Rainy Day by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow The day is cold, and dark, and dreary; It rains, and the wind is never weary; The vine still clings to the mouldering wall, But at every gust the dead leaves fall, And the day is dark and dreary. My life is cold, and dark, and dreary; It rains, and the wind is never weary; My thoughts still cling to the moldering past, But the hopes of youth fall thick in the blast, And the days are dark and dreary. Be still, sad heart! and cease repining; Behind the clouds is the sun still shining; Thy fate is the common fate of all, Into each life some rain must fall, Some days must be dark and dreary. Every Day Poet: Unknown Every day is a fresh beginning, Every morn is the world made new; You who are weary of sorrow and sinning. Here is a beautiful hope for you; A hope for me and a hope for you. Good Time Comin' Poet Unknown Thank the Lord, If today has sorrow We can live in hope Of a bright tomorrow! And still find peace When the storm is hummin', An' sweet release In the good time comin'! Hope Is Better Poet: Unknown Never go gloomy, man with a mind, Hope is a better companion than fear; Providence, ever benignant and kind, Gives with a smile what you take with a tear; All will be right, Look to the light. Morning was ever the daughter of night; All that was black will be all that is bright, Cheerily, cheerily, then cheer up. Many a foe is a friend in disguise, Many a trouble a blessing most true, Helping the heart to be happy and wise, With love ever precious and joys ever new. Stand in the van, Strike like a man! This is the bravest and cleverest plan; Trusting in God while you do what you can. Cheerily, cheerily, then cheer up. Singing Through The Rain Poet: Luella Clark O Robin, singing through the rain, How welcome is thy clear refrain, The tempest trying all in vain To cheat thee of thy song! What cheerfulness, by pain unspent. What gladness born of calm content. Unto thy strain belong. Let sinking hearts, taught by thy strain, Learn, too, to triumph over pain. And, like thee, singing in the rain A song of hope and cheer. Sunny Soul Poet: M. A. Kidder To the sunny soul that is full of hope, And whose beautiful trust ne'er faileth, The grass is green, and the flowers are bright. Though the wintry storm prevaileth. Hope Never Slumbers Long Poet: Anna J. Granniss Not even Hope can always soar and sing; Sometimes she needs must rest a willing wing. And wait in midst of her glad carolling. Faint not, dear heart, though she rest over night - Her wings are swifter than the wings of light; They're gaining strength for more enduring flight. Fret not because her voice is sometimes still; It may be catching some new lilt or thrill; She'll sing again, all of her own sweet will. Perhaps when worn with pain, in darkened room. Denied the light, the beauty, and the bloom, You'll see a little rift within the gloom; Then hear a stir, as of unfolding wings; And low, sweet notes, as one who tries the strings In tender prelude just before he sings. And wakened Hope, grown vigorous and strong. Will then surprise the silence with a song - Keep a brave heart, Hope never slumbers long. Do Something Poet: Lucy Larcom If the world seems cool to you, Kindle fires to warm it! Let their comfort hide from you Winters that deform it. Hearts as frozen as your own To that radiance gather; You will soon forget to moan, "Ah! the cheerless weather! " If the world's a "vale of tears," Smile till rainbows span it; Breathe the love that life endears Clear from clouds to fan it. Of your gladness lend a gleam Unto souls that shiver; Show them how dark sorrow's stream Blends with hope's bright river. His Hope With All Poet: Mary H. Houghton The night is mother of the day, The winter of the spring; And even upon old decay The greenest mosses cling. Behind the cloud the starlight lurks; Through showers the sunbeams fall; For God, who loveth all His works. Hath left His hope with all. Ray Of Hope Poet: Celia Thaxter There is no day so dark. But through the murk some ray of hope may steal. Some blessed touch from heaven, that we may feel If we but choose to mark. We shut the portals fast And turn the key, and let no sunshine in; Yet the worst despair that comes through sin God's light shall reach at last. Hope Poet: Unknown Tis better to hope, though clouds hang low, And keep the eyes uplifted, For the sweet blue sky will soon peep through, When the ominous clouds are rifted. There was never a night without a day, Or an evening without a morning. And the darkest hour, as the proverb goes, Is the hour before the dawning. Words Of Strength Poet: Friedrich Schiller There are three lessons I would write, Three words as with a burning pen, In tracings of eternal light, Upon the hearts of men. Have hope. Though clouds environ now, And gladness hides her face in scorn, Put thou the shadow from thy brow; No night but hath its morn. Have faith. Where'er thy bark is driven - The calm's disport, the tempest's mirth - Know this: God rules the hosts of heaven, The inhabitants of earth. Have love - not love alone for one, But man as man thy brother call, And scatter like the circling sun Thy charities on all. Thus grave these lessons on thy soul - Hope, Faith, and Love - and thou shalt find Strength when life's surges rudest roll, Light when thou else wert blind. Four-Leaf Clovers Poet: Unknown I know a place where the sun is like gold, And the cherry-blooms burst forth with snow; And down underneath is the loveliest nook, Where the four-leaf clovers grow. One leaf is for hope, - and one is for faith, And one is for love, you know; And God put another one in for luck: If you search you will find where they grow. But you must have hope, and you must have faith, You must love and be strong; and so, If you work, if you wait, you will find the place Where the four-leaf clovers grow. The End Of The Rope Poet: Margaret Nickerson Martin When you’ve lost every vestige of hope And you think you are beaten and done, When you’ve come to the end of your rope, Tie a knot in the end and hang on. Have courage; for here is the dope: When you stand with your back to the wall, Though you’ve come to the end of your rope Tie a knot in the end and hang on. Don’t admit that life’s getting your goat When your friends seem to all disappear, When you’ve come to the end of your rope, Tie a knot in the end and hang on. Hope Blossoms Eternally Poet: David V. Bush We some times long for things we cannot own: Our hopes to do and dare, our spurs to win Are all be-decked with crepe in every zone, Appreciated not by kith or kin. How I have longed for home and children there To greet me as I draw toward my home, But home's a suite of humble rooms, most bare, My children, all but one, sleep 'neath God's dome. Ideals are but the shadows of the past, My aims and efforts, buried low and deep, But somehow yet my faith still holds me fast, Tho tired and worn, a star of hope I keep. There always seems a light just on, a ways, Some thing for which we long, and crave and strive As traveling on thru life's perplexing maze, A flicker of old hope is still alive. Do what I will, succeed or fail is all A part of life's perplexing, winding way, And whether hopes rise high or whether fall, I do my best and slowly plod each day. And when I see for me life's crown is small. My efforts, all my plans, my hopes are vain And buried for a time my zeal - I fall - My child I see and hope springs up again. And so it is, and ever more shall be, We hope, we try, we do, we plan, we strive, Whether for us there comes the victory, Our hope, our faith in scions' still alive. So give not up, O weary soul, be brave! Weave manly, well, tho 'tis your life's last strand, We see a star of hope beyond the grave; Perhaps we’ll finish there what we began. A Hope Poet: Unknown The past is not, — the hues in which 'tis drest Fond memory supplies; The future is not, — hope-born in the breast Its fancied joys arise; The present is not, — like the lightning's gleam Its brief illusions seem; This is the life allotted unto man, A memory, - a hope, - a fleeting moment's span. Hope Child Poet: Victor Hugo Hope, child, to-morrow hope, and then again to-morrow, And then to-morrow still! Trust in a future day. Hope, and each morn the skies new light from dawn shall borrow; As God is there to bless, let us be there to pray.
