Let’s All Give Thanks to Mother!

By CHARLES N. LURIE.

WHEN father carves the turkey ’Tis then sweet scents arise* Our senses gratifying Through noses and through eyes. Then father holds the center Of Yankeedom’s broad stage; He stands there like a hero Of ancient lineage. f

But who’s this in the background So modest hides from view 7 ; Come forward, mother worker, And take what is your due! I Let father carve the turkey. Yours be the greater prize, For you have carved the pumpkins * That make the golden pies.

“FOR YOU HAVE CARVED THE PUMPKINS THAT MAKE THE GOLDEN PIES.”
