( FROM THE LIMERICK CHRONICLE ) . Air , — " Bannockbui'n . " Peace and love illumined earth , Which became one hous eliold hearth , When from Wisdom thouhad'st birth , Glorious Masonry !
Harmonies of Heavenly things , Stars that gleam like thrones of kings , Skies in hue like angels' wings , Are but types of thee . All that ' s wondrous , fair , and bright , Seen by raptured fancy ' s light ,
Round thy templed-arcb . unite With dazzling brilliancy . Mystic word , that makes us one—Mystic breath our souls upon—¦ Mystic sign of Solomon , Have their birth in thee .
All thy noble brotherhood Must be brave , as well as good , Pure in heart and rich in blood , Gallant , frank , and free ! Fearless , tho' the thunder-cloud Gather round them like a shroud
; Only of their virtues proud , And Masonry ' s degree ! Hiram's sons in name and deed , Secret as the golden seed Ere from earth and darkness freed , Or Eden's living tree .
In my soul the secret lies , Veiled from all but Mason ' s eyes , Like a spirit in the skies , Or jewel in the sea . Shakespeare ' s glory like a flame , Blent with Burns' undying fame , Pours a splendour on the name So clear to Heaven and mc !
When the shroud of Death is cast O ' er the world and us at last , Still thy truth no shock shall blast—Not even Eternity ! W . B , K ., ( a Mason ' s son ) .
