“He who thanks with lips thanks but in part; the full, the true Thanksgiving comes from the heart”

A Thanksgiving rhyme has been printed on many images:
 
“He who thanks but with the lips
Thanks but in part;
The full, the true Thanksgiving
Comes from the heart.”
 
The short poem is from American author J. A. Shedd (1859-1928) and has been cited in print since at least 1895.
