grumbling and fault-fnding, just as Thanks
giving Day is appointed, perhaps some would
forget to grumble just as they now forget to
give thanks"
A day is appointed for grumbng,
To find all the fault that we can;
dav that should make one quite happy,
That such chance should be given to man.
And now that the day is appointed,
And we are asked to grumbe all Gay,
1t may be the spirit will leave US,
We may wish to be happy and gay.
O, the old-fashioned day of Thanksgiving,
Was the day that we feasted and fed
The day that should have meant living
/ The thanks that so often were dead.
This new holiday, just appointed
1t may be to rival the old
If only the two were united,
Would be really worth blessings untold.
For the fault finding spirit would vanish
If joined to the spirit of praise,
And true hearted thankfulness triumph
And both be Thanksgiving Days.
