Giving
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!
