The Kings of the East are riding Tonight to Bethlehem. The sunset glows dividing, The Kings of the East are riding; A star their journey guiding, Gleaming with gold and gem The Kings of the East are riding Tonight to Bethlehem. There beams above the manger The child-face of a star; Amid the stars a stranger, It beams above a manger; What means this ether-ranger To pause where poor folk are There beams above a manger The child-face of a star. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A PSALM OF LIFE by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW THE FINDING OF THE LYRE by JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL A WISH by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI CITY ROOFS by CHARLES HANSON TOWNE CHEMISTRY OF A POEM by CAROLYN AUSTIN |
