With ill-subdued reproach. But blessings fell From the majestic guest, and every morn The empty store which she had wept at eve, Mysteriously replenished, woke the joy That ancient Israel felt, when round their camp The manna lay like dew. Thus many days They fed, and the poor famine-stricken boy Looked up with a clear eye, while vigorous health THE WIDOW OF ZAREPHATH. 191 Flushed with unwonted crimson his pure cheek, And bade the fair flesh o'er his wasted limbs Come like a garment. The lone w...idow mused On her changed lot, yet to Jehovah's name Gave not the praise ; but when the silent moon Moved forth all radiant, on her star-girt throne, Uttered a heathen's gratitude, and hailed, In the deep chorus of Zidonian song, " Astarte, queen of Heaven !" But then there came A day of woe. That gentle boy, in whom His mother lived, for whom alone she deemed Time's weary heritage a blessing, died. Wildly the tides of passionate grief broke forth, And on the prophet of the Lord, her lip Called with indignant frenzy.
