" The Queen and the Craft 1 " The Master still Is speaking in joyous tone , As he calls upon us " with a will , " These long prized words to " own . " And once again as the sands outrun , And life ' s hours pass away , In youth , in gaiety , and in fun , We drink , " The Queen and the Craft ! " to-day .
" The Queen and the Craft . " Let no man dare Such good old words assail , In loyal devotion everywhere , True Craftsmen will never fail . Let trusty lips with might and main Still give the " Three ancl Three , " " The Queen and the Craft ! " again and again , And God speed Freemasonry i
" The Queen ancl the Craft 1 " Many seasons have fled , Since we first heard those words , old friend , How many merry , merry mates are dead , And those glad hours have had an end . 'Mid restless times and folly ' s shame , As old things drift on a drifting wave , We'll keep ever close to our ancient fame , And the toast our fathers -gave .
