For grain bins trimming with amber wheat,
And all the riches Of harvest born
For laden hives, with their burden sweet:
For heaps Of fruits and for goldn corn;
For bursting cotton and warming fleece
For beating flocks and for milky herds;
For home, for comfort for thrift for peace.
For kindly hands and fur loving words:
For all the gifts Of the teenling earth
For every blessing the autumn sends:
For love, for pleasure, for tears. for mirth.
For faithful hearts and for loyal friends;
For household circles still fond and whole.
Let every one in his own best way.
With grateful Thought aud with humble soul,
Yield thanksgiving and praise today

So let no spirit, though far apart
From happy fortune its path may stray.
Refuse to honor. with voice and heart.
The dear tradition we keep today.
For never a soul in all the earth,
In hut on palace. i'll any cline,
But has some blessing or comfort worth
The giving thanks ut this joyful time
We who are happy whose lot is crowned
With every favor that life can bring,
How can we fail as the day comes round.
70 offer thanks, to rejoice and sings
We who are wptched, whose days are dark
Void Of all that can bless or cheer.
May still be glad. as its dawn we mark.
That rest and freedom are almost here

For Nature met them with Jealous mood.
She gave scant welcome to human schemes
Which tore the shade from her Solitude
And rent the forests, and damned the streams
Her Indian children had never dared
To spoil her shrnes and to thwart her will
The red mans life was her own and shared
Without question, her good and i'll.
With few Of the helps we know today
To yield relief the seasons rolled
They paid the price that she babe them pay
They gasped with heat, and they shook with
cold
The ills she sent them they grimly bore,
Yet none the less did that stubborn band
Hold fast to the stern, Implying shore
Wherein their vessel had CHANGED to land.

But when their courage was almost gone,
So deaf seemed heaven 10 their prayers an
rain,
A cloud arose in the sky at dawn,
Dark aud heavy with promised rain
And when poured plenteously down at last
The crystal blessing denied so long
They changed the day from gloomy fast
Into a service Of joy and song.
And ever after their children too.
And their childfen's children after them.
With love and gratitude ever new.
Set one day separate, like a gem
OF purer luster than all the rest
In tho golden round of the year 81 DAYS,
When all might offer as one their best
OF true Thanksgiving and humble praise

One summer fercey and long the sun
Had parched their gardens and scorched their
grain,
And days and weeks had gone and ON
With never sprinkle of saving rain.
The heat drank greedily all the springs
And dried the wheat ere the were filed;
II withered the to yellow strings,
And all the tenderer crops were killed.
And strongest spirits grew faint indeed,
Foreseeing nothing but want and woe,
Wasting hunger, and bitter need,
And actual famine with winters snow
The preachers doubled their sermons length
And droned long chapters and prayed and
prayed.
Yet spite Of their faiths persistent strength.
Was every man of them sore afraid.

In the pleasant days when we went to school
We read. in we'll worn history book,
How, restless under despot's rule,
A band Of pilgrims their land forsook,
And, crossing WIDE mysterious main
To country strange aud little known,
Began, with hardship and toll and pain.
The home and nation we call our own
The tale rehearsed how they strove with fate.
They and their meek and patient wives
And rose mp early and labored late
To keep and comfort their lonely lives.
They felled the forests with fire and AK,
They dug and planted the rugged soil
And faced denials, and pinching lacks.
And constant danger, and ceaseless toll
