LETTER G
Referred to the emblem of Deity that marks the Lodge-East. Deo optimo, maximo (To God, all good, all great).
THAT NAME ! I learned it at a mother’s knee,
When, looking up, the fond and tearful face
Beaming upon my eyes to tenderly,
She prayed that GOD her little son would bless!
THAT NAME! I spoke it when I entered here,
And bowed the knee, as each Freemason must;
From my heart’s center with sincerity,
I said, “In God, in God is all my trust!â€
THAT NAME! I saw it o’er the Master’s chair,
“ The Hieroglyphic brightâ€, and, bending low,
Paid solemn homage at the emblem there,
That speaks of GOD, before whom all must bow!
