[2] and sweetest—in the gale—is heard—
and sore must be the storm—
that could abash the little bird
that kept so many warm—

[3] i've heard it in the chillest land—
and on the strangest sea—
yet, never, in extremity,
it asked a crumb—of me.

in the last stanza, the author writes that the little bird “never … asked a crumb of me.”
