A Day for Thanksgiving

Albert F. Gilmore

The high purpose of that little band of religious zealots who have come to be known as the Pilgrim Father, in seeking asylum on the wintry shores of the New World, has been the subject of almost innumerable panegyrics in song and verse, in history, biography, and romance.

"What sought they thus afar?
Bright jewels of the mine,
The wealth of seas, the spoils of war?
They sought a faith's pure shrine."
