![]() ![]() She ends the poem by stating an “it” that doesn’t ask a thing of her. Another interesting piece of the poem comes in the last stanza where Dickinson describes hope is there even in the worst conditions. However, she does use terms such as “feathers, perches, and sings,” which suggests that Dickinson is talking about a bird. While she uses the words “little bird” this is a reference to a storm hurting a bird. Even though hope is compared to something that has feathers, Dickinson doesn’t specifically say that it’s a bird. Hope is not something that must be voiced to have meaning. She notes that hope is a feeling that “perches” on the soul and is always there. The poem uses a bird as a metaphor for hope.
