THANKSGIVING We walk on starry fields of white And do not see the daisies: For blessings common in.'our sight We rarely offer praises. Wc' sign for some supreme delight To crown our lives with splendor, And quite ignore our daily store Of pleasures sweet and tender. Our cares are bold and push their way JJpon our thought and feeling They hang about us all the day Our time from pleasure stealing. So unobstructive many a joy *r We pass by "fthcPfoYget it.-r-L-5 But- worry-strives to own-our live~ And conquers if we let it. There's not a day in all the vear, But holds some hidden pleasure. And looking: back joys oft appear To brim the past's wide measure But .-blessings are like friends, I hold. ! Who love and labor near us, We ought to raise our notes, of praise While living hearts can hear us. Full many a blessing wears the guis Of worry or of trouble; Far-seeing is the soul, and wise, Who knows the ma/dc is double. But he who has the faith and strength To thank God for sorrow. Has found a joy without alloy. To gladden every morrow. We ought to make the moments, it t'* Of happy glad Thanksgiving; The hours and days a silent phras: Of music we are living, \nd so the thvue ;hii:' 1 swell am' grow weeks and month' oVr os \nd rise sublime at this good time A grand Thanksgiving chorus.
