FOR flowers that bloom about our feet; For tender grass, so fresh, so sweet; For song of bird, and hum of bee; For all things fair we hear or see, Father in heaven, we thank Thee. For blue of stream and blue of sky; For pleasant shade of branches high; For fragrant air and cooling breeze; For beauty of the blooming trees, Father in heaven, we thank Thee. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...FIRST THANKSGIVING by SHARON OLDS THE SACHEM OF THE CLOUDS (A THANKSGIVING LEGEND) by ROBERT FROST INVENTORY by LAURE-ANNE BOSSELAAR THE THANKSGIVING IN BOSTON HARBOR [JUNE 12, 1630] by HEZEKIAH BUTTERWORTH THANKSGIVING DAY by LYDIA MARIA CHILD SIGNS OF THE TIMES by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR THE LANDING OF THE PILGRIM FATHERS IN NEW ENGLAND [NOVEMBER 19, 1620] by FELICIA DOROTHEA HEMANS THE PILGRIM FATHERS by JOHN PIERPONT |
