The worst time of year, in the cold of the winter

The worst time of year, in the cold of the winter, no time to be travelling, setting abroad,

yet here in this story the Magi are coming
bringing the riches the world can afford.

This frankincense speaks of the prayers of the people,
while gold represents all the wealth of the earth...

Verse 2 continues followed by verse 3
