14 THE ACORN A Collect for Thanksgiving Day Edwin Markham. I thank Thee, Father, for this sky, Wherein Thy little sparrows fly; For unseen hands that build and break The cloud pavilions for my sake, This fleeting beauty, high and wild, Toward which I wonder, as a child. I thank Thee for the strengthening hills, That give bright spirit to the rills; For blue peaks soaring up apart, To send down music on the heart; For tree-tops wavering soft and high, Writing their peace against the sky; For forest tarings that have been; For this Fall rain that shuts me in, Giving to my low little roof The sense of home, secure, aloof. And thanks for mornings stir and light. And for the folding hush of night; For those high deities that spread The star-filled chasm overhead; For elfin chemistries that yield The green fires of the April field; For all the foam and surge of bloom, For leaves gone glorious to their doom, All the wild loveliness that can Touch the immortal in a man. Father of Life, I thank Thee , too, For old acquaintance, near and true, For friends who came into my day And took the loneliness away; For faith that held on to the last; For all sweet memories of the past, Dear memories of my dead that send Long thoughts of life and of life's end, That make me know the light conceals A deeper world than it reveals.
