Give Thanks
For the hay and the corn
and the wheat that is reaped,
For the labor well done,
and the barns that are heaped,
For the sun and the dew
and the sweet honeycomb,
For the rose and the song
and the harvest brought home
Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving!
For the trade and the skill
and the wealth in our land,
For the cunning and strength
of the workingman's hand,
For the good that our artists
and poets have taught,
For the friendship that hope
and affection have brought
Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving!
For the homes that with
purest affection are blest,
For the season of plenty
and well-deserved rest,
For our country extending
from sea unto sea;
The land that is known
as the Land of the Free
Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving!
Thank you for dropping by
and visiting with me.
