Masonic Training
By Rob Morris
Oh, Ladies, when you bend above
The cradled offspring of your love,
And bless the child whom you would see
A man of truth and constancy,––-
Believe there is in Mason′s lore,
A fund of wisdom, beauty, power,
Enriching every soul of man
Who comprehends the mystic plan.
Then train your boy in Mason′s truth
Lay deep the cornerstone in youth
Teach him to walk by virtue′s line,
To square his acts by Square Divine
The cement of true love to spread,
And paths of Scripture truth to tread
Then will the youth to manhood grow
To honor us and honor you.
