Thanksgiving Day.

Topics: classic

One day is there of the series     Termed Thanksgiving day,     Celebrated part at table,     Part in memory.     Neither patriarch nor pussy,     I dissect the play;     Seems it, to my hooded thinking,     Reflex holiday.     Had there been no sharp subtraction     From the early sum,     Not an acre or a caption     Where was once a room,     Not a mention, whose small pebble     Wrinkled any bay, --     Unto such, were such assembly,     'T were Thanksgiving day.
