h ings came riding from faraway


Three Kings came riding from far away,
Melchior and Gaspar and Batszar;
Three Wise Men out Of the East were thAy,
And they travelled by night and they slept by day
For their guide was beautiful. wonderful star.
The star was so beautiful, large and clear.
That all the other stars of the sky
Heclme q white mist in the atmosphere,
And The Wise Men knew that the coming was near
OF the Prince iOretold in the prophecy.
Three caskets they bore on their ssidle-bows,
Three askcts of gold with golden keys
Their robes were Of crimson silk, with rows
OF bslls and pOne granates and furhelOws;
Their turbaDs Ike blossoming almond trees.
Ard 20 the Three Kings rode into the West,
Through the dusk ol night over hills and dels,
And sometimes they nodded with beard on breast
Ard sometimes talked, as they paused to rest,
With the people they met at the wsysde wells.
'-of the child that is born" said BaltauarJ
Good people, pray GU tell us the news,
For we in the East have seen his star,
And have ridden fast and have ridden far,
To Ind and worship the King Of the Jews"
And the people answered. you ask in vain:
We know Of no king hut HerOd the Great"
They thought the Wise Men were men insane,
AS they spurred their horses across the plain
Like riders in haste who cannot wait.
And when they came to Jerusalem
Herod the Great, who had heard this thing,
Sent for the Wiss Men and questioned them
And said Go down into Bethlehem,
And bring me udngs Of this new king"
So they ride away and the star stood STILL
The only one in the gray Of morn
Yes stopped It stood still OF its own free will.
Right over Bethlehem on the hill,
The city o! David, where Christ was born.
An1 the Three Kings rode through the gate and the
guard.
Through the silent street. TIL their horses turned
And neighed as they entered the great inn-ysrd
But the windows were closed, and the doors were
barred
Ana onlya light in the stable burned.
And Graded there in the scented hay
In the air made sweet by the breath Of kline,
Tue little child in the manger lay
Tho child that would be King one day
or kingdom not human but divine.
His mother, Mary OF Nazareth,
Sat watching beside his place OF rest
Watching the even how OF his breath,
For the joy If lire and the terror OF death
Were gled To setner in her breast.
They laid their rferi ings at his feot.
The gold was their tribute to q king
Tho irunkincense, with its odor sweet,
Was for the priest. the Parsclete,
The myrrh for the body's burryng.
And the mother wondered and bowed her head,
And sat as still a. a statue Of stone;
Her heart was troubled, vet comforted,
Remembering what the angel had said
OF Al endless ign and OF David's throne.
Then the X ngs rode out Of the city gate,
With the CHATTER OF hOofs in proud array
But they went not back TO Hsrod the Great,
FOrtney knew his "alce and feared his hate.
And they returned to their homes by another way.

tion by the aid of other infirmities. such as
shame or the very serviity and cowardice of
defiance to public opinion, becomes prudent
and laudahle in the service OF so great

preston of frank courage. or even OF noble
