Explore "The Sending of the Magi" by Bliss Carman on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
In a far Eastern country / It happened long of yore, / Where a lone and level sunrise / Flushes the desert floor, / That three kings sat together / And a spearman kept the door.
Caspar, whose wealth was counted / By city and caravan; / With Melchior, the seer / Who read the starry plan; / And Balthasar, the blameless, / Who loved his fellow man.
