ODE TO MASONRY,

Bx BROTHER A. NICHOLS, JUN.
Hail sons Of light and Masonry,
United, happy, social, free.
Your mystic square shall ever DO
The seat of peace and innocencoi
While virtue has a friend below.
Or tears for others griefs shall flow,
So long shall man delight to know.
Blcss royal art thy secret worth !
While wisdom, strength or beauty charms,
Friendship or love the bosom warns,
Thy faitful sons from cares alarms
Shall walk secure In paths Of peace!
While pure religion Gains the soul,
Subjects the passion to control,
From east by west, from pole TO pole,
Millions shall hail Freemasonry!
