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...DIFFERENT VIEWS; A CHRISMAS DUET by JOSEPH ASHBY-STERRY AN UNMERRY CHRISTMAS by AMBROSE BIERCE CHRISTMAS IN CHINATOWN by AUGUST KLEINZAHLER CHRISTMAS TREE by JOHN FREDERICK NIMS ISAIAH'S COAL by JOHN FREDERICK NIMS SOUNDS OF THE RESURRECTED DEAD MAN'S FOOTSTEPS (#3): 1.
