| THOUGHTS OF THANKSGIVING Thanksgiving day is coming soon That long-remembered day When nature gives her blessed boon To all America. On that glad day, in all our land, The people, in their wake, Give thanks to God, whose mighty hand Deals blessings good and great. The roast goose, steaming on the plate, The sweet potato cobbler, The cranberry sauce, the pudding baked, The seasoned turker gobbler -- All these delights and many more, From north, south, west and east, Do all the nation keep in store For this Thanksgiving feast. Alas, for those who are denied This blessed boon of God! May all the needy be supplied Like Israel by the rod. --Charles Frederick White |
