Even the very language used is taken from an innately simplistic lexis, with the absence of any flamboyance or superficiality. The utter simplicity of the poetic structure of the poem, with a basic and uniform flow, consisting of four lines per stanza with a semi-traditional rhyme scheme with the entirety of the second stanza adhering the ABAB rhythm. I think the first thing to note with this poem is the method by which Dickinson bolsters hope as an ever-victorious virtue against all that poses a threat. Those who exists in the absence of hope bear a weighty load on their backs that’s for sure, and the subject of this particular Dickinson poem focuses on just that: the necessity and indispensability of the force that is hope.
