Welcome, thou grand old Feast day
Again the russell fields
Lie idle in the soft, gray light
ShOrn of their splendid yields;
Again the lanes have glimmerrd
With farewell golden-rod,
And gentian tringes closed above
The tinted olive sod
But thou. o grand old Feast day,
Thou hast no need of these
To draw us to thee Though thou urlhs
GRAY skies and leafless trees
A hundred welcomes 10 thee!
We altar-fires of home,
Shine out and kindred gather
From sea TO mountain dome!
So hail thee, grand old Feast-day
The wind swept orchard 6oughs
Have flung their ruddy gold ana green
Upon the earth the mows
Are rich with grain; the burrows
Sleep meath the suns vellel ray
And ali the land is glad and grerts
