The Goddess of Masonry

By Charles F. Forshaw

Goddess of Purity, 

Spotless and rare; 

Emblem of Charity 

Unsullied, fair; 

Symbol of Meekness-- 

Radiant, bright, 

′Minding the Brethren 

Of realms of Light-- 

Strong in the knowledge 

Virtuous might.

Symbol of Chastity, 

Spirit of Bliss, 

Coming to cheer us, 

Through the abyss, 

Token of faithfulness-- 

Be thou our guide; 

Emblem of Hopefulness-- 

Keep by our side; 

Help us and lead us o′er 

Every dark tide!
