The Dwelling-Place Of Masonry.
THE DWELLING-PLACE OF MASONRY .
MY Muse , upturn thy gaze Unto the glowing skies , Whose myriad—myriad blaze Thy searching eye defies . Expatiate awhile O ' er Space ' s vasty sea , Where Light ' s bright fountains smile , — There dwelleth Masonry !
AA here Heaven ' s gems receive The light that in them burns , — Where the star that shines at eve On its glowing axle turns , — AAfiere rainbow tints are born , And the gorgeous blazonry Of dew-bespangled morn , — There dwelleth Masonry !
AVhere loveiy flow ' rs of earth Receive their early bloom , And , ' mid their cells give birth To sighs that breathe perfume , — AVhere Ocean ' s waters swell , An emblem of the free , In the billow , —in the shell , — There dwelleth Masonry !
AVhere th' illumined heart conceives Thoughts holy , chaste , and pure , — AVhere Faith enraptured breathes , And joys for aye endure , — Where emanates the thrill That wakens Charity , — AVhere lives the God-like will , — There dwelleth Masonry !
AVhere ' er a virtue throws A halo round the soul , Or aught of goodness glows , Like stars around the pole , — AVhere ' er Hope flings a beam O ' er life ' s unstable sea , — AVhere flows the healing
stream—, There dwelleth Masonry . ' AV . SNEIVING , Robert Burns' Lodge , No . 25 .
