Excerpt from The Three Kings: And Other Verses for ChildrenAnd while their camels drink and rest, They spend the time in prayer, And grave communion, each with each, About the wondrous star, For all had traced its splendid gleam Across the desert far.Said Melchior, Such a star before Has ne'er been seen on earth It's rays must surely herald now Some mighty monarch's birth, And so, a worthy offering, I hither with me bring, An offering of yellow gold For earth's most mighty King.But Balthasar spoke up. And said. The star sends beams abroad So radiantly, I feel 'tis sent To greet some earth-born God: This box of fragrant frankincense. My tribute then shall be. Sweet sacrifice to offer to Incarnate Deity.Quoth Kaspar. Long and world has groaned sickness. Sin. And death, I cried when first I saw its light. 'a Healer draws His breath!' I searched my kingdom o er to find Some gift that would be meet, This healing myrrh I'll lay before The great Physician's feet.How. Now, we cannot all be right, Cried Melchior, once again, For if this babe be mighty King.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
