THANK GIVING.

Though shriIi- voiced winds go bawiing by,
And sober skies look grim and murky,
Men keep the feast of pumpkin PIE,
And slaY the pompOus bird OF turkey
The crop-haired saints of Plymouth Rock,
EXiled the Mayfower's sacred wood IN,
At every other feast could mock,
But-they were h~Uman-foved their Paduia :
With sermon, prayer, and psalmOdy they rem
dered thanks in meeting, ,
Then homeward solemnly they trudged, and
rendered thanks by eating.
Far north of Massachusetts, Bay,
And westward ever wide and wider,
Has spread the homer Of the day
And flowed its hOspitable cider.
For all his roaming prodlGals
The fatted calf the father s~laughters;
The smiling mother round her calls
Her lusty sons and llssome daughters;
Loves beacon, lighted from old DAYS, thelr
homeward steps is leading, .
And some, whom life has swindled, are not
loath to find good feeding.
Happy whose hearth is spared by tate,
Whose calmer pulses do not Jingle,
As musIng by his lonely CRATE,
He minds him Of a dearer ingle,
Around whose fires with glowing hearts
His blood and name were wont to cluster
All, well, that kind Of wound still smarts
Beneath the balm of many a lustre!
Shall we give thanks that strangers sit within
our hallowed places,
Or praise that nov the dust of death enshrOads
the dear lost faces;
Go buy a turkey for the poor,
And make an end OF silly questions;
Thank God, for once, that you are sure
To 'scape Thanksgiving indigestions.
Though dark NOvembec knows no ruth
For flower or song the frolic May had
Yet for the golden hopes of youth,
As for the memories of the grayhead,
For the long peace of all the dead, for the brief
days of all men living,
May even wandering, homeless hearts make
glad Thanksgiving,
