HARBAUGH In the twilight of November With its foliage of gold Comes again the glad Thanksgiving With its customs dear and old; And beneath the starry banner, As it floats from sea to sea. We a happy Nation gather— Fears at rest, for all are free. Not a hand in all this Nation, In the East and in the West, Bars the mansion or the hovel To the kind Thanksgiving guest; From the balmy groves of Southland To the nodding pines of Maine Nature, tilled with joy and gladness. Spreads the yearly feast again. We are thankful for the blessings That have crowned our cherished land- Fruitful orchards, golden harvests, PSace and love from strand to strand ; 'Neath November's robes of beauty Hidden lies the warrior's sword, And the olive branch is hanging O'er Columbia's festal board. Aye, from mountain unto mountain 'Neath the Union's azure dome. To the feast we spread this Autumn Bid the aljsent " Welcome home !" 'Round the board where all are merry iO. Let the rarest sunlight play; With the love-key of Thanksgiving Open every heart to-day. Thus let hoary age and childhood Join their hands with happy glee. In the homes beside the wildwood And the mansions by the sea; For our Union naught can sever— 'Tie defended by the brave; Then let us greet forever This fair land our fathers gave. Spread the table with His bounties— Let there be a feast of song; Let the voices of the household Fair Thanksgiving Day prolong; All are welcome to the pleasures That it brings to every farm. And today let hearts be beating With impulses glad and warm. Hail the hallowed Thanksgiving That the Pilgrim Fathers gave! 'Tis their legacy forever On the land and on the wave; Then, as Freedom's chosen people. We our destiny f ulflll— Let the future's sweet Thanksgivings Find us grander, greater still. —Sttccessful Fanning,. Please note that these images are ex
