"Hope" is the thing with feathers

by Emily Dickinson
"Hope" is the thing with feathers-(a)
That perches in the soul-(b)
And sings the tune without the words -(?)

4 And never stops at all-(b)
And sweetest in the Gale-is heard-
And sore must be the storm-
That could abash the little Bird

8 That kept so many warm-
I've heard it in the chillest land-
And on the strangest Sea-
Yet, never, in Extremity."
12 It asked a crumb of Me.

1.sore here sore means terrible, fearsome

2. Extremity here Extremity means the most dire or dangerous
circumstances
Complete the rhyme scheme
by filling in the missing letter
in stanza 1 from Emily
Dickinson's "Hope' is the thing
with feathers"?

A. b-abbb
B. a-abab
C. c-abcb
