With Thanksgiving......

 STARS by SARA TEASDALE (1884-1933) 
                  Written in 1920...............one of my favourites. I couldn't think of a better choice for  Thanksgiving (Canada)....
 Alone in the night
 On a dark hill
 With pines around me
 Spicy and still
 And a heaven full of STARS
 Over my head,
 White and topaz
 And misty red;
 Myriads with beating
 Hearts of fire
 That aeons
 Cannot vex or tire;
 Up the dome of heaven
 Like a great hill,
 I watch them marching
 Stately and still,
 And I know that I am honoured to be
 Witness
 Of so much majesty!
