For the hay and the corn and the wheat that is reaped
For the labor well done, and the barns that are heaped
For the sun and the dew and the sweet honeycomb
For the rose and the song and the harvest brought home
Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving!
For the trade and the skill and the wealth in our land
For the cunning and strength of the workingman's hand
For the good that our artists and poets have taught
For the friendship that hope and affection have brought
Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving!
For the homes that with purest affection are blest
For the season of plenty and well-deserved rest
For our country extending from sea unto sea
The land that is known as the "Land of the Free"
Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving!
