THE APPROACH OF THANKSGIVING.
There is a dawning in the skyWhich doth a world of fate imply,
And on each casual passing face
A look expectant you may trace.
These signs the veteran turkey sees
And with a deep and mournful sigh,
He calls his numerous family nigh
And murmurs, pointing to the trees,
“Roost high, my little ones, roost high!”
November 13th, 1882.
