The Square and Compass

Both points beneath the square,

Darkness, doubts, dungeons of despair,

Yet trusting in God who answers prayer,

Follow your guide — nor fear nor care,

Light will come with effulgent glare.

 

One point above the square,

As yet but partially there

Is light; for more light prepare,

As you ascend the winding stair.

 

Both points above the square —

Friendship and Morality share

With Brotherly Love, tenets taught where

Masons kneel, and vow, and swear.

— Odillon B Slane, 1917
