A rude , unhewn / and shapeless heap , As yet expressing nought . Though valueless the Ashlar seems , Who lives perchance may see The sculptor realize his dreams , And all true beauty be .
The stone is fashion d by the square , Each chisell'd surface bright Shows forth in its proportions fair , In truth a goodly sight ;
It bides but for the builder ' s hand To set it in its place , Within the edifice to stand , Imparting strength and grace .
The Ashlar typifies the mind ; Eor thus it is ordain'd , Though first no order there we find , Yet when correctly train'd ,
The rough externals all removed Of ignorance and sin , Then we discover truly proved The loveliness within .
