"Victor Roy: A Masonic Poem" by Harriett Annie Wilkins is a poetic narrative composed in the late 19th century. The work encapsulates a story that intertwines themes of loss, faith, and human resilience against the backdrop of Masonic symbolism. The protagonist, Victor Roy, is presented as a compassionate figure with a complex past marked by love, longing, and personal trials, revealing insight into the lives of humanity around him. The beginning of the poem introduces Victor Roy in a solitary moment, reflecting on his life in a grand yet empty mansion as he grapples with nostalgia and sadness over his lost love, Aimee, who married another during his absence. This opening section paints a melancholy atmosphere, moving between his present solitude and memories of happier times, foreshadowing the deeper connections with those who are less fortunate. Throughout the early verses, a narrative unfolds that touches upon themes of sacrifice, the importance of community, and the enduring impact of love intertwined with the trials of life, setting the stage for a more extensive exploration of these themes throughout the poem.
