On a pallet of straw

J. Meyerowitz

They did not travel in an airplane.

They did not travel by car.

They did not travel on a streamline train.

They traveled on foot from afar.

They did not seek for a fine hotel,

They did not seek an inn,

They did not seek a bright motel,

They sought a cattle bin.

Who were these travelers on the road?

And where were they going? And why?

They were Three Wise Men who came from the East,

And they followed a star in the sky,

A star in the sky.

What did they find when they got to the barn?

What did they find near the stall?

What did they find on a pallet of straw?

They found there the Lord of all!

They found the Lord of all!
