One cycle more, with rich fruition crowned, Hastes to fulfilment of its perfect round,-- Great year of wonder, and of vast emprise!-- For all its gifts, ay, let Thanksgiving rise, The hero's prowess--bloodless victory won; The martyr's patience, sternest duty done,-- Yet, loftier paeans still, for war's surcease,-- For God's best gift,--the precious boon of peace! For garnered opulence of flock and field, Joys ever new, revolving seasons yield,-- For those bright presences of radiant night,-- The garment-hem of Glory Infinite,-- Blithe speech of birds, and bloom of sunny bower, Health, home, and love,--the best of earthly dower,-- Yet in thy gracious time of strife's release, Thank God, ye people, for His gift of peace. - [Thanksgiving Day]
