Thanksqivinu,

Thanksgiving.
Children, do you know the story
1,o Dr. the first T~hanksgiving lay.
In that time so far away?
They had given for religion,
Wealth and comfort; yes, and more
Left their homes, friends and kindred
F'or a bleak and barren shore.
On New E%ngland's rugged headlands,
Now where peaceful Plymouth lies,
There they built their rough log cabins
Meath the cold November skies.
And too often cen the bravest
Felt his blood run cold with dread
Lest the wild n ava red man
Burn the roof above his head.
Want and sickness, death and sorrow
Met their eyes on ever hand:
And before the springtime reached them
They had buried half their band.
But their noble, brave endurance
Was not exercised in vain;
Summer brought them brighter pros.
Ripening seeds and waving grain.
And the patient Pilgrim mothers,
AS the harvest time drew near,
Looked with happy, thankful faces
AT the full corn in the ear.
So the governor, William Bradford,
In the gladness of his heart,
To praise God for all his mercies.
Set a special day apart.
This was in the autumn, children.
Sixteen hundred t~wenty-one,
Scarce a year from when they landed
And the colony begun.
And now, when, in late November
Our Thanksgiving feast is spread.
IT'S the same time-honored custom
OF the Pilgrims long since dead.
