THE LOVER'S THANKSGIVING by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS

First Line: I'M GLAD FOR EVERY SHINING STAR
Last Line: IS JENNY'S HEART.
Subject(s): HOLIDAYS; LOVE; THANKSGIVING;
I'm glad for every shining star,
The gleams of glittering skies,
And that their brightest sparkles are
In Jenny's eyes.

I'm glad for summer's drowsy hum,
Dear zephyrs from the south,
And that their sweetest breathings come
From Jenny's mouth.

I'm glad for beauty's towers tall,
For poetry and art,
And that the centre of it all
Is Jenny's heart.
