"Father We Thank Thee" The woods are lovely, dark, and deep, Author Unknown But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep, For flowers that bloom about our feet, And miles to go before I sleep. Father, we thank Thee. Eldorado For tender grass so fresh, so sweet, Edgar Allan Poe Father, we thank Thee. For the song of bird and hum of bee, Gaily bedight, For all things fair we hear or see, A gallant knight, Father in heaven, we thank Thee. In sunshine and in shadow, Had journeyed long, For blue of stream and blue of sky, Singing a song, Father, we thank Thee. In search of Eldorado. For pleasant shade of branches high, Father, we thank Thee. But he grew old- For fragrant air and cooling breeze, This knight so bold- For beauty of the blooming trees, And o'er his heart a shadow Father in heaven, we thank Thee. Fell as he found No spot of ground For this new morning with its light, That looked like Eldorado. Father, we thank Thee. For rest and shelter of the night, And, as his strength Father, we thank Thee for health and food, Failed him at length, For love and friends, He met a pilgrim shadow- For everything Thy goodness sends, "Shadow," said he, Father in heaven, we thank Thee "Where can it be- For everything Thy goodness sends, This land of Eldorado?" Father in heaven, we thank Thee "Over the Mountains Of the Moon, “Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening” Down the Valley of the Shadow, Robert Frost Ride, boldly ride," The shade replied- Whose woods these are I think I know.
