MASONRY
ny W, C. cAPERs.

Ttrec thousand years have rolled away
iJpon the tide of Time
Since Masonry began Der march,
OF noble deeds, sublime.
And though the angry storms OF war
Have swept the earth with FIRE.
Tier temple stands, unscathed' uLhurt,
With sunlight on ito spire.
Old empires, long the praise of men,
Have faded from the earth;
Kings, with their thrones, have passed away
Since Masonry had birth. So,
The sceptered monarch, in his pride,
Has long since met his DOOM,
And nourht is left of his domain
But solitude and gloom.
Proud Egypt. with her wcndfous arts
Her mysteries OF DID,, r
Has slept beneath the tide OF llmc'
As swift his current rolled.
Mud Greece, with all her ancient wealth.
OF genius and of fame,
Scarce holds amid the nations now
The honor Of name.
The glittering towers of Troy, to winch
The foes Of Priam came,
TO meet a welcome for their decos
From lips of Spartan dame;
Have lonp since toppled from their base,
And mouldered to decay;
The glory OF that mighty'race,
with them has passed away.
Amid the ravages that swept
The cities of the plain
mid crumbling of imperial thrones,
The fall of tower and fame
Fair Masonry has still survived
The nations horr1d doom,
A beacon mid the night of years,
10 gild the clouds of gloom.
Through every age, stern blgotry
Has sought to crush her form
But, unsubdued, she bravely met
The tempest and the storm.
The clouds Of persecution fled
Before her steady ray,
As shades of deepest night before
The rising orb OF day.
From Oriental chimes see came,
TO bless this Western world,
Ard rear the temple meath the flag
That Liberty unfurled.
Fair Freedom welcomed to our shores,
This maid of heavenly birth;
While thousands of our humble poor
Now own her generous worth.
Ten thousand widows, in their weeds,
Have blessed her advent here.
And many a homeless orphans heart
Has owned her tender care.
Full many a frail and erring son,
To dissipation given,
Has heard her warning voice, and turned
His hayward thoughts to heaven.
Long may her beauteous temple stand,
To light this darkened sphere;
To gid the gloom of errors night,
And dry the moprncr's tear.
And when the final winds of Time
Shall sweep this reeling ball;
Oh, may its glittering spires be
The last on earth to fall.
