Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Swing the Shining Sickle
I found an older source, probably the original one, viewable through Google Books. This one has musical notation for voice and piano.
From Songs of the Child-world, Vol. 1, words by Alice C. D. Riley, music by Jessie L. Gaynor (Cincinnati: The John Church Company, Nov., 1897), page 67, where it is called "Thanksgiving Song."
Lyrics are identical to those posted by Q (Frank Staplin) back on 15 May 2004.
