I thank thee, Earth, for water good, <br />The sea's great bath of buoyant green <br />Or the cold mountain torrent's flood, <br />That I may keep this body clean. <br /> <br /> <br />I thank thee more for goodly wine, <br />That wise as Omar I may be, <br />Or Horace when he went to dine <br />With Lydia or with Lalage.<br /><br />Bliss William Carman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/thanksgiving-53/
