Do we ever stop and wonder…
When we took our Degrees and why?
Is it for lack of interest
That we pass the “Lodge Night” by?

Do we have anything in common
With out Brothers but our dues?
When we’re asked to grant a favor
Do we grudgingly refuse?

Do we read our monthly notice
On which brains and time are spent.
Or do we throw it in a basket
With some junk not worth a cent?

Do we know that there is something
Besides the signs and words and grips,
That’s for the good of all mankind
And it doesn’t fall from the Officer’s lips.

Do we stand shoulder to shoulder,
And help with all our might;
Or do we, like so many others
Keep safely out of sight.

Do we all as Master Masons
Use the trowel as we should,
To spread the cement that unites us
Into a Great Brotherhood?
