The mark of a Mason

Square and compasses with letter G
symbols of brotherhood and charity
From mountain to valley and sea to sea
a universal mark of chivalry

A square to deal with all in truth
an object lesson for wayward youth
Ninety degrees, set and true
not eighty-nine, not ninety-two

A compass to circumscribe desire
that words of passion not turn to fire
A circle in which we contain our actions
when swords we cross with rival factions

Centering all, the letter G
that we may see what glory be
For in this, a secret be
known to masters of Geometry
