Carol

Crooked Creek by Sue Mattingly

Carol of the Brown King by Langston Hughes

Of the three Wise Men 

Who came to the King,

One was a brown man, 

So they sing.

Of the three Wise Men

Who followed the Star,

One was a brown king

From afar.

They brought fine gifts

Of spices and gold

In jewel boxes

Of beauty untold.

Unto His humble

Manager they came 

And bowed their heads

In Jesus’ name.

Three Wise Men,

One dark like me —–

Part of His 

Nativity.
