The Mystic Art
by Bro. Edward Bulwer-Lytton
The world may rail at Masonry,
And scoff at Square and Line,
We'll follow with complacency
The Master’s great Design.
A King can make a gartered Knight,
And breathe away another,
But he, with all his skill and might,
Can never make a Brother.
This power alone, thou Mystic Art,
Freemasonry, is thine;
The power to tame the savage heart
With brother-love divine!

Reprinted from A Treasury of Masonic Thought, Carl Glick. Thomas Crowell Co., N.Y.: 1953. p. 164.
