God of the harvest, once again Our joyful tones we raise, For all Thy goodness, day by day, We give Thee thankful praise. With blessings rich, from fertile field, And gifts from fruitful tree, We wish, this day, our thanks to yield With earnest hearts, to Thee. We plough'd the ground, we sow'd the seed, But Thou didst send the rain In grateful show'rs, in time of need, And now we've reap'd the grain. The sun with grateful heat did shine; The dew did nightly fall; And now, for loaded tree and vine - We give Thee thanks for all. The bee, in well-fill'd honey cells, Her sweets for us hath stow'd, The crystal water in the wells, For us from springs hath flow'd. The lowing herd, the prancing steed Receiv'd we from Thy hand, And we, this day, return our meed Of praise, throughout the land. Then let us sing with earnest hearts, Tho' joyful be each lay, And thankful ev'ry song that starts On this Thanksgiving Day. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/storycapsule/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/storycapsule/support

Don't Envy by Ukrainian poet, Taras Shevchenko Don't envy, friend, a wealthy man: A rich man's life is spent Without a friend or faithful love — Those things he has to rent. Don't envy, friend, a man of rank, His power's based on force. Don't envy, too, a famous man: The man of note well knows The crowd's acclaim is not for him, But for that thorny fame He wrought with labour and with tears So they'd be entertained. But then, when young folk gather 'round, So fine they are and fair You'd think it's heaven, — ah, but look: See evil stirring there … Don't envy anyone my friend, For if you look you'll find That there's no heaven on the earth, No more than in the sky. Mirhorod, October 4th, 1845. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/storycapsule/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/storycapsule/support

And did those feet in ancient time Walk upon Englands mountains green: And was the holy Lamb of God, On Englands pleasant pastures seen! And did the Countenance Divine, Shine forth upon our clouded hills? And was Jerusalem builded here, Among these dark Satanic Mills? Bring me my Bow of burning gold: Bring me my arrows of desire: Bring me my Spear: O clouds unfold! Bring me my Chariot of fire! I will not cease from Mental Fight, Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand: Till we have built Jerusalem, In Englands green & pleasant Land. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/storycapsule/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/storycapsule/support

Oh, summer has clothed the earth In a cloak from the loom of the sun! And a mantle, too, of the skies' soft blue, And a belt where the rivers run. And now for the kiss of the wind, And the touch of the air's soft hands, With the rest from strife and the heat of life, With the freedom of lakes and lands. I envy the farmer's boy Who sings as he follows the plow; While the shining green of the young blades lean To the breezes that cool his brow. He sings to the dewy morn, No thought of another's ear; But the song he sings is a chant for kings And the whole wide world to hear. He sings of the joys of life, Of the pleasures of work and rest, From an o'erfull heart, without aim or art; 'T is a song of the merriest. O ye who toil in the town, And ye who moil in the mart, Hear the artless song, and your faith made strong Shall renew your joy of heart. Oh, poor were the worth of the world If never a song were heard,— If the sting of grief had no relief, And never a heart were stirred. So, long as the streams run down, And as long as the robins trill, Let us taunt old Care with a merry air, And sing in the face of ill --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/storycapsule/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/storycapsule/support
