THE BUILDER by CAROLINE GILTINAN

First Line: THE EDGES OF THE STONES ARE SHARP
Last Line: UNTIL A TEMPLE STANDS.
Subject(s): BUILDINGS & BUILDERS;
The edges of the stones are sharp,
But I shall travel far
For I must seek and seek and seek
Wherever such stones are.

I am building me a secret place
With stones that cut my hands;
But I must build and build and build
Until a temple stands.
