Inst enough Of frost in the vibrant air
To sharpen the pulses tnglng.
Just enough Of gold on the meadows
bare
with the sunight's sheen comming-
ling.
TO wake in my bosom a song Of praise
For the generous gift of living.
To watt my thoughts through the long
gone days
To an olden time Thanksgiving.
And Of tina, dinner what need to tell
OF Joys that are past expressing.
OF the sad destruction which there be-
fell
Tho turkey ard sauce and dressing?
or harves, sweets from the cellars
hoard.
OF ham from the smoke house rafter,
OF cheer that flowed round the festal
board
or the wit and the mirth and the laugh
ter?
FOR the years may come and the years
In a fleetirg panorama
With Aprils tears and Decembe-s
And the June-tide's golden glamour.
But whenever TO crimson tho sumacs
burn
Ard the russcts leaves grow thinner,
My thoughts from the present will glad
~ turn.
To that old THANKSGIVING dinner.
