Classic Poem

Apron — N O D EGENERATION .

White , only white , the badge of truth,
Type of unspotted innocence,
The virgin color , lily-white,
The hue that marks the sheeted dead.
The Lodge Celestial, round the Throne,
The raptured choir, all enrobed in white,
Sing high salvation unto God !
Cleansed of all gross impurity,
We toilers in the Moral Fane,
So, humbly wear our garments, white .
