Brothers and sisters all this night Homeward we turn our looks To where Cape Cod with beckoning bandIts band-Its bony finger crooks No hand of promise empty bare before their eyes it lay Who stood on Plymouths lonely rock That first Forefathers Day Little they thought those men of old When centuries rolled Between New Englands children thus would meetf To keep their memory preen There on the bleak and barren shoro Of Plymouths briny bay They bullied better than they knew That first Forefathers Day We meet in hearty health and cheer In comfort warmth and light The dainties of our well filled board I Tempt every appetite Without a roof between their heads And wintry clouds of gray L fear they dined on faith and clams That first Forefathers Day We meet with laugh and song for them Mirth had no time nor place No smiles formen whoso eyes each day Looked closely in deaths face No Christmasthe stern record reads None rested all that day Though Christmas trees were very cheap In the shore of Plymouth bay No peace a wily savage lurked In every forest shade No rest their hands must all day grasp The ax and saw and spade No safety some while others slept Must watch the night away Each man must be a hero then In our Forefathers Day Each woman too a heroine Think of the mothers there And little children born to be Their solace and their care > Long sincethcy found their well earned rest But let us hope and pray Such days for us may never dawn As ourforemoAew day Hunger and hardship did their work And sickness laid them low And half their little band was laid In graves beneath the snow Yet when the Mayflower spread her sails To cross the seas once moreNo more-No man or woman of them all Turned back to Englands shore All honor to their memory 1 If hard and stern their rule The lessons of their life were learned In persecutions school Well may their sons and daughters meet And willing tribute pay Speaking theh names with reverence On eacn Forefathers Day The reading was listened to with marked attention and great applause was accorded the lady at the conclusion MAJOR GOOGSPEED At the risk of repeating a good thing the president called upon Major Goodspeed to tell his
