    It is not the weight of jewel or plate,
    Or the fondle of silk or fur;
    "Tis the spirit in which the gift is rich,
    As the gifts of the Wise Ones were,
    And we are not told whose gift was gold,
    Or whose was the gift of myrrh.

And wisest he in this whole wide land
Of hoarding till bent and gray;
For all you read more

And wisest he in this whole wide land
Of hoarding till bent and gray;
For all you can hold in your cold, dead hand
Is what you have given away.
. . . .
He gave with a zest and he gave his best;
Give him the best to come.
