Dear Lord, we thank Thee for the crops Of white and golden grain, Which now are safely gathered in From winter's sleet and rain! And for the fruits and for the foods In cellars stored away; We thank Thee now, dear blessed Lord, On this Thanksgiving Day! Not only for the crops this year (So bounteous and free) Of grain and fruit so plenteous Do we give thanks to Thee; But for the many gifts which Thou Hast on us all bestowed; Each day, each hour and all the time, We thank Thee, blessed Lord! | 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 A GOOD-BYE by EFFIE WALLER SMITH |
