The child and the lady never to part—
Carried home to the mansion grand,
The proudest and richest in all the land.
Never a pauper, the lovely child
Into whose face the lady smiled.
“Done to the least it is done to Me.”
What grander honor on earth could be?
Oh! a sweet and joyous Thanksgiving Day
Has come to the home of Miss Marion Ray.
