Thanksgiving poultry

Thanksgiving poultry To consume Thanksgiving poultry

By GEORGE PARSONS LATHROP  

Valleys lay in sunny vapor,

Along with a radiance mild was shed

From each tree that they like a taper

In a feast was. Only then do we stated,

“Our feast, too, shall soon be spread,

Of excellent Thanksgiving poultry.”

And already still November

Drapes her snowy table here.

Fetch a log, then coax the ember

Fill your hearts with old-time cheer

Paradise be thanked for an additional pair year,

And our Thanksgiving poultry!

Welcome, siblings – all of our party

Collected within the homestead old!

Shake the snow off with hearty

Hands-shakes drive away the cold

Else your plate you’ll hardly hold

Of excellent Thanksgiving poultry.

Once the skies are sad and murky,

‘Tis a contented factor to satisfy

Round this homely roast of poultry –

Pilgrims, pausing simply to greet,

Then, with serious elegance, to consume

A brand new Thanksgiving poultry.

And also the merry feast is freighted

Using its meanings true and deep.

Individuals we’ve loved and individuals we’ve hated,

All, to-day, the rite could keep,

All, to-day, their dishes heap

With plump Thanksgiving poultry.

But the number of hearts must tingle

With mournful recollections!

Within the festal wine shall mingle

Unseen tears, possibly from eyes

That appear to be past the board where lies

Our plain Thanksgiving poultry.

Thanksgiving poultry Our plain Thanksgiving poultry

See around us, drawing nearer,

Individuals faint yearning shapes of air –

Buddies than whom earth holds none dearer!

No – alas! they aren’t there:

They have, then, didn’t remember to talk about

Our good Thanksgiving poultry?

Some go away and tarried

Oddly lengthy by a few strange wave

Some have switched to enemies we transported

Some unto the pine-girt grave:

They ‘ll come forget about so wondrous-brave

To consider Thanksgiving poultry.

Nay, repine not. Let our laughter

Leap like firelight up again.

Soon we touch the wide Hereafter,

Snow-field yet untrod of males:

We could meet once again – so when? –

To consume Thanksgiving poultry.
