One day is there of the series

 
by Emily Dickinson

One day is there of the series	
Termed "Thanksgiving Day"	
Celebrated part at table	
Part in memory -
Neither Ancestor nor Urchin
I review the Play -	
Seems it to my Hooded thinking	
Reflex Holiday	
Had There been no sharp subtraction	
From the early Sum -	        
Not an acre or a Caption	
Where was once a Room	
Not a mention whose small Pebble	
Wrinkled any Sea,	
Unto such, were such Assembly,	        
'Twere "Thanksgiving day" -
