THE PILGRIMS CAME, by ANNETTE WYNNE First Line: The pilgrims came across the sea Last Line: We thank the pilgrims, every one! Subject(s): Pilgrim Fathers | ||||||||
THE Pilgrims came across the sea, And never thought of you and me; And yet it's very strange the way We think of them Thanksgiving Day. We tell their story old and true Of how they sailed across the blue, And found a new land to be free And built their homes quite near the sea. Every child knows well the tale Of how they bravely turned the sail, And journeyed many a day and night, To worship God as they thought right. The people think that they were sad, And grave; I'm sure that they were glad - They made Thanksgiving Day ''" that's fun ''" We thank the Pilgrims, every one! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE MAYFLOWER [DECEMBER 21, 1620] by ERASTUS WOLCOTT ELLSWORTH BOSTON HYMN; READ IN MUSIC HALL, JANUARY 1, 1863 by RALPH WALDO EMERSON THE LANDING OF THE PILGRIM FATHERS IN NEW ENGLAND [NOVEMBER 19, 1620] by FELICIA DOROTHEA HEMANS THE COURTSHIP OF MILES STANDISH by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW THE PILGRIM FATHERS by JOHN PIERPONT THE FIRST PROCLAMATION OF MILES STANDISH [NOVEMBER 23, 1620] by MARGARET JUNKIN PRESTON THE INDIAN'S WELCOME TO THE PILGRIM FATHERS by LYDIA HUNTLEY SIGOURNEY SONG OF THE PILGRIMS [SEPTEMBER 16, 1620] by THOMAS COGSWELL UPHAM THE PILGRIM FATHERS by LEONARD BACON (1802-1881) CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS by ANNETTE WYNNE |
