The Magi

Nancy Campbell

OUT of what far-off ancient cities

Did the wise kings see the star,

Leaning from their towers of magic—

Caspar, Melchior, Balthasar?

In what strange marts did they barter,

In what ivory chests make stir,

Gathering for their eastern journey

Gold and frankincense and myrrh?
