Masonic Songs.*

And I hear the old Norsemen chanting their tnnes Under arches of boreal fires , And the Troubadours singing , thro' long rich Junes , To their soft Provencal lyres . " " That mountain of God , in the realms of my love ,

Hath a marvellous glory and worth ; And the Temple that rose its high places above , Covers more than Jerusalem's girth ; For its aisles are the highways of ages , And its courts are the zones of earth .

0 er its mythical meanings and parabled sense , I have pondered , in childlike mind , Until back , thro' the ages , with yearnings intense My unsatisfied heart hath inclined—Longing still for the Word of the Master—The Word that no mortal may find !

In the dreams and the visions of fervent desire , I have mingled with Levite and Priest ; With the widow ' s son Hiram , and Hiram of Tyre , Sitting down at Meridian feast ,

With mine ancient brethren in Masonry s Craft—When my sonl the lambskin wore , I have stood by the mystical comer-shaft And knelt on the tesselate floor . "

" By the glow of the greater and lesser Light , And the power of the Master ' s word—By the plummet of Truth , and the level of Right , And the square that hath never erred—Thro' the work of a Master Mason King Solomon ' s prayer was heard . "

" My heart , thro' the veil of those mysteries vast The voice of King Solomon hears , Asking me with the sign of a Master Why my soul no Temple rears ?" ###### "Yet onr years , when they moulder to ashes ,

Behold ns bnt wrecks sublime ! For the house that we bnild in a lifetime ' s length From the midst of our wordly din , Hath no Jachin and Boaz , established in strength , And no Holy of Holies within . "

" While the day hath light , let the light be used , For no man shall the night control . ' 'Ere ever the silver chord be loos'd , Or broken the golden bowl , May we build King Solomon ' s Temple In the true Masonic sonl !"

The hat of Toasts , in the order usually observed after the banqr . et , which appears at the end of the volume , was a much needed compilation .
