Q No roll of drum nor note of bugle has
called us from Cur firesides.
I Nature, ever, lavish with her bounty,
has blessed our land with her increase.
1 Ripened field and fruited bough have
followed plow and pruning -hook.
J We have given freely of that which we
have, and now, in the evening of the
year, we rest from our toil, serene in
faith that dormant bud and fecund
grain will awake to new life.
i
J Let us then, today, partake of that
which we have garnered that which
shall give us strength and courage for
the duties of the morrow.
Let us give kindly thought to kindred
of every tongue who struggle upward
toward the dawn of peace.
J Let us remember those in peril on land
or sea.
