A Collect for Thanksqivino.

I thank, Thee. Father, for this sky,
Wherein Thy little sparrows fly;
For unseen hands that build and break
The cloud pavilion for my sake
This feeting beauty, high and wild,
Toward which I wonder, as a child.
thank Thee for the strengthening hills
For blue peaks soaring up apart,
To send down music on the heart:
For treetops wavering soft and high.
Writing their peace against the sEV:
For forest farings that have been;
For this fall rain that shuts me in.
Giving to my low little roof
The sense of home, secure, aloof.
And thanks for mornings stir and light.
And for the folding hush Of night:
For those high deities that spread
The star filled chasm overhead;
For elfin chemistries yield
The green fires Of the April field:
For all the foam and surge of bloom.
For leaves gone glorious to their doom
