Explore "The Three Kings" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Three Kings came riding from far away, / Melchior and Gaspar and Baltasar; / Three Wise Men out of the East were they, / And they travelled by night and they slept by day, / For their guide was a beautiful, wonderful star.
The star was so beautiful, large, and clear, / That all the other stars of the sky / Became a white mist in the atmosphere, / And by this they knew that the coming was near / Of the Prince foretold in the prophecy.
