HIS master taken from his head, Elisha saw him go; And in desponding accents said, "Ah, what must Israel do?" But he forgot the Lord, who lifts The beggar to the throne; Nor knew that all Elijah's gifts Would soon be made his own. What! when a Paul has run his course, Or when Apollos dies, Is Israel left without resource? And have we no supplies? Yes, while the dear Redeemer lives, We have a boundless store, And shall be fed with what he gives, Who lives for evermore. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE STARLING; SONNET by AMY LOWELL DILIGENCE IS TO MAGIC AS PROGRESS IS TO FLIGHT by MARIANNE MOORE TRUE UNTIL DEATH by ROBERT BURNS THE HARLEM DANCER by CLAUDE MCKAY EROTION by ALGERNON CHARLES SWINBURNE |
