'Victor Roy, A Masonic Poem' by Harriet Annie Wilkins is a collection of simple yet profound poems that speak to the struggles and faith of everyday people. Through the lens of the Ancient Order of Masonry, Wilkins illuminates the mysterious symbolism and universal beneficence of this timeless institution. Drawing inspiration from a humble traveler who finds solace in the grandeur of a cathedral, these poems remind us that even in the darkest moments, we can find strength and hope by turning to the divine. Here's an excerpt from 'Ethel's Mission': "Out in the blinding and pitiless sleet / The young girl goes on her errand blest / She starts at each sound on the lonely street / As she longs for, but dares not dream of rest."

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from Victor Roy: A Masonic Poem Yet there seems a shadow, yes even there, Where all is so peacefully grand and still, No fair young face with its shining hair, No voice of love with its musical thrill. One reigneth alone in that mansion grand, And his day of life has long past its noon, The wanderer of many a foreign land, Rests, calmly waiting Heaven's final boon. There are lines on his brow of grief and care, Writ with a quill from Time's feathered wing. There are silver threads in the chesnut hair, The blossoms white of a fair dawning spring. Yet Victor Roy has a kindly word, And a kindly smile for all he meets No cry of distress is by him unheard, While many a blessing his pathway greets.
