Turned and tossed like toys
Riding the mighty waves
Their master does what he wilt
To them his humble slaves

Rudely he flings their boats asunder
But calm can be...

Though dawn's rays reveal ruin and regret
Resolve ran through the...

three kings to where the child abides.

They visited, arrayed with treasure,
