This great day, I met upon the way
 The kings of east as they came riding proudly,
 This great day, I met upon the way
 The kings of east in all their fine array.
 The gifts of gold, frankiscense and myrrh,
 Were guarded close by a band of sturdy warriors,
 Their swords, their shields, and their bucklers bright
 Agleam and sparkling in the morning light.
