was on a field trip looking for feathers...
hopeful feathers
perched in my soul.
thanks Emily
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 chilliest land
And on the strangest sea;
Yet, never, in extremity,
It asked a crumb of me.

I found a whole pile of bird feathers...
I was looking for a bald bird
