MY THANKSGIVING. OOL blows the wind from out the west to-day ; Blue as a violet prairie rolls the sea; The frost lies white on forest and on lea And sets its jewels flaming on the way Where children’s feet go dancing down to play. The sky is blue as steel; and yon pine-tree Drops burrs, like rosaries, slow and silently“. Heigh-ho! one sun will bring Thanksgiving day, And some will offer thanks for gold or fame, And others for some triumph over wrong. Still others for some hotiored, empty name — But / will offer thanks both deep anid long If for this sonnet I am paid enough To buy a boa or an ostrich ruff.
