моей поёт -
Без слов одну мелодию
Твердить не устаёт –

И в праздники - нас радует,
И буря не спугнёт –
Вот эту пташку малую,
Что всем тепло даёт –

В морях мне пела, в холоде –
Но я не помню дня,
Когда она хоть крошечку –
Просила у меня.

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.

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
