THE MASON ' S FAREWELL *
While far , far away from my native land , To feel the warm "grip" from a Craftsman ' s hand , And to hear the " word , " and to see the " sign , " Will strangely quicken this pulse of mine : For I know full well that a friend is near . To whisper a word in th' " attentive ear , " And to " walk barefoot" 'neath a winter ' s sky
, To aid a Brother of the " mystic tie . " We ' ve met on the " Level , " AVe'll part on the " Square , " For prized as the sunlight My Brothers , you are .
'Tis a long farewell I must quickly say , For the cares of life bid me haste away , But I leave my heart , and a tear-drop , too , As a pledge that I ' m ever a Mason true , And will toil with the " Craft" till I yield my breath To a gavel-blow from the hand of death . 'Tis a kind farewell I must quickly speak
AVhile the scalding tears course down my cheek . God bless you , my Brothers , It pains me to part—You ' re dear as the life-dro 2 * s Which visit my heart .
