MASONIC SONGS .-No . 5
THE WORLD'S FESTIVALS . — By Bko . G . Douglas Thompson , [ This Song is Copyright . ] The World it grows young once a year , And we know when his youth will appear , Tho * ages have passed , since he first spun so fast , "Yet still he grows ' young once a year ,
Speed the plough , Yet still he grows young once a year . We care not when Winter is here , For that tells us the season is near , When buoyant young Spring a new mantle will bring , For the World that grows young once a year , Speed the plough , For the World that grows young once a year .
Then the World ' s in his prime once a year , When the weather is glowing and clear , When the sun in the sky makes it June or July , Then the World ' s in his prime once a year , Speed the plough , Then the world ' s in its prime once a year .
And the world he grows rich once a year , When his wealth doth the husbandman cheer , So a crown shall adorn , made of grape-vine and corn , The World that grows rich once a year , Speed the plough , The World that grows rich once a year .
They say man grows old year by year , And perchance time his forehead may sear , But in true warmth of heart , if he ' s played a good part , He'll be young till he lies on his bier , Speed the plough , He'll be young till he lies on his bier .
Autumn.
AUTUMN .
The glory of the summer leaf is gone , The withered leaves fall thick with every gust , Or from their frail hold flutter one by one , ! To join their brethren in the dust . Of their own will some seem to loose and fall , Glass'd in the swollen river rolling by , That see how changed they are and palsied all , Beneath the dreary Autumn sky .
And never more for one the summer dawns With light and scent , and song and gentle breath , Blue Heaven above , beneath , the leafless lawns , And all things without taste of death .
