For all that I enjoy;
And promise that next New Year’s day
Will find a better boy.
RECITATION—The Pumpkin.
Ah! on Thanksgiving Day, when from East and from West,
From North and from South come the pilgrim and guest,
When the grey-haired New Englander sees round his board
The old broken links of affection restored,
When the care-wearied man seeks his mother once more,
