High In Masonry.

Topics: classic

Give me a board so I can trace on             How high I have gone as a mason,             Said worker on true square cut stone             Unto some knights of good St. John.             Each one of them could trace with ease             The highest Masonic degrees,             Tell us how high then you have gone             They said to worker on cut stone.             Who said to their astonishment             To top of Washington monument,             I solemnly to you declare             And will swear to fact upon the square.             I there stood thirty-three degrees,             While the mercury did freeze,             And none of you will have desire             In masonry for to go higher.
