    POEM ? 4 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. Emily Dickinson 'Abash' means a sense of

    A) pride                           

    B) embarrassment

    C) hope                           

    D) loss

    Abash means to make ashamed, embarrassed, or self-conscious. Essentially only the most extreme or impossible-to- escape storm would affect the bird/hope. If the bird is "abashed" what would happen to the individual's hope.
