Harriet Monroe, ed. (1860–1936).  Poetry: A Magazine of Verse.  1912–22.
 
The Magi
By Nancy Campbell
 
OUT of what far-off ancient cities
Did the wise kings see the star,
Leaning from their towers of magic—
Caspar, Melchior, Balthasar?
 
In what strange marts did they barter,        5
In what ivory chests make stir,
Gathering for their eastern journey
Gold and frankincense and myrrh?
