THANKSGIVING DAY AT SEA.



Sons of the boisterous sea,
   With joyous hearts we share
The blessings of this happy land,
   Which heaven hath made its care;

Whose glorious flag is borne
   High o'er the ocean's breast,
Whose strong-winged eagle proudly makes
   Among the stars his nest.

Not with the cup that drains
   Our best resolves away,
