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!
