Minnesota Thanksgiving
John Berryman
For that free Grace bringing us past great risks & thro' great griefs surviving to this feast sober & still, with the children unborn and born, among brave friends, Lord, we stand again in debt and find ourselves in the glad position: Gratitude.
We praise our ancestors who delivered us here within warm walls all safe, aware of music, likely toward ample & attractive meat with whatever accompaniment Kate in her kind ingenuity has seen fit to devise,
and we hope - across the most strange year to come - continually to do them and You not sufficient honour but such as we become able to devise out of decent or joyful conscience & thanksgiving. Yippee! Bless then, as Thou wilt, this wilderness board
Thanksgiving Prayer - William S. Burroughs
