Here comes the old lady with a little gift. It seems so much to her, that she takes some of it away. Little green leaves, lemon leaves, the Virgin Mary, Mother of the Savior. Here come the Kings through the desert, and they bring to the Child a real tower. Here come the Kings down this road, and they bring to the Child sweet-cakes in wine.
