Here, H W Longfellow in simple and rhythmic verses reveal in a picturesque way the arrival of the three kings from the East soon after Christ was born. He faithfully follows the versions contained in the Bible and presents the whole theme in a manner that could be understood by even children. In a way, these are garden of verses meant not only the general reading public but for our children. In my view, poetry writing should be like this - wrote in simple, rhythmic verses giving the reader no confusion of thought unlike the general modern poetry. I love his poetry very much.

Interesting rhyme pattern in each verse: ABAAB I don't remember seeing that pattern before. Very nice.
