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