THE TROWEL

by Bro. Chas. F. Forshaw, M.D.
Originally Printed In The Canadian Craftsman - 1892


As Speculative Masons we adore;
The precepts taught by this most honoured tool;
And if we minded well its gentle rule
Our hearts and minds would ever Heavenwards soar.

In olden days our brothers firmly bound
The stones and lime together by its aid
Until the edifice, compact and sound,
Was in all points and parts completely made.

But now we use it as an emblem great,
That firmly binds each true Masonic heart;
To join us in strong links that naught can part-
A Mystic Tie, that Craftsmen consecrate.

To deeds that ever will their souls enshine,
