POETRY: A Magazine of Verse
THE MAGI
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?
[124]
