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!
