It then tells the reader more about this bird, adding detail, before showing it in different situations. The poem begins by establishing its key metaphor-that hope is a bird. By extension, then, "Hope is the thing with feathers" implores its readers to make good use of hope-and to see it as an essential, deeply valuable part of themselves. Furthermore, hope never asks for anything in return-it costs nothing for people to maintain hope. The poem argues that hope is miraculous and almost impossible to defeat. Using extended metaphor, the poem portrays hope as a bird that lives within the human soul this bird sings come rain or shine, gale or storm, good times or bad. "Hope is the thing with feathers" is a kind of hymn of praise, written to honor the human capacity for hope.
