THE DAY WE LOVE.

M. J. B.

 
Of all the glad days of the year
 Thanksgiving Day's the best;
Then fun and joy run riot
 And sorrow is at rest.
 
We keep the day with feasting
 And enjoy it with a will,
From the poor man in the valley
 To the rich man on the hill.

What though the wind be chilly
 And clouds the sky may fill,
And all without be dreary.
 If the heart is happy still!

Then let us keep Thanksgiving
 And, looking through the years,
We'll labor ever onward.
 Unharmed by doubts or fears.
