Each degree in our respective rituals has special pieces that standout with unique beauty and meaning. I was intrigued while visiting a lodge some years ago when I saw a wonderful poem called “On Yonder Book” given as a charge after the third degree.

I eventually received a copy from a friend from Ohio, who gives it to every newly raised MM in his lodge.
