Grand'ther Baldwin's Thanksgiving with Other Ballads and Poems

Horatio Alger

Capitolo 3

And liturgical song of winds of I slowly cool the requiem of the year growing weak himself/herself/itself,

When the job in autumn is ended, and the crop gathered in,
Once more the old echoes of house to an unusual and long noise.

Trunks of blaze of hickory and it crackles in the enormous hearth tall anti,
Garlands that curl upward of mountain of direct smoke to the sky of grey November.

Red young fellow and smiling girls, as soon as you leave loose from the cares of schooldom,
You tap, you tap, raced and he/she clatters, on and down the great steps of room.

All the boys will hold tall has a good time;  all the girls will have the their opportunity,-
That is the law to Grand'ther Baldwin on every day of Thanks.

From from the sacred enclosures of the living room, listen! an angrier noise still;
Knavish Charles is playing stage-trainer, and the stage-trainer has upset!

Joe, black-dagli eyes and laughter-loving the glasses of Grand'ther his/her nose through,
Seriously ago the occhiolino brother Willie that is gayly that plays horse.

Does her of grandmother it is enough radiant;  Grand'ther doesn't know whether to knit the eyelashes,
although his/her children, in their joy they turn the old house upside-down.


For the boys you/he/she can hold tall has a good time, and the girls have to have the their opportunity;
That is the law to Grand'ther Baldwin on every day of Thanks.

But the supper--the ah! the supper--words are weak to withdraw
What a culinary triumph is realized day of Thanks!

Fairly the axle groans with dainty tid bit but the turkey the roast one it dominates,
Aldermanic to the beginning, to the last one a ghost of fleshless.

Then the wealth of the kitchen and the taste of the cake,
When you have dined to Grandmother Baldwin Lei he/she will know as me.

When, for a long time, the party was ended, Grand'ther Baldwin turned the head,
And, among the solemn silence, with a reverent voice he said:--

"Now to God, the Attractive one, us graces and homage it pays,
Who the guardeth guideth and we loveth and we us always!
