Thanksgiving Day Is Here!
Music By Jessie L. Gaynor And Lyrics By Alice C.D. Riley
From "Songs Of The Child World" (1895)
Additional Verse By Grant Raymond Barrett
See the waving, golden fields of wheat and corn. Pluck
and thresh the harvest early in the morn. Afternoon and evening,
work until you're through. Rest until tomorrow and then start
anew.
Pick the ripened apples. Pack away with care. Gather in the corn
ears, gleaming everywhere. Now the fruits are gathered. All the grains
are in. Nuts are in the attic. Corn is in the bin.
Loudly,
blows the north wind through the shivering trees. Bare, are all the
branches. Fallen, all the leaves. Gathered, is the harvest for another
year. Now, our day of gladness. Thanksgiving day is here!
