Would God my lord were with the prophet that is in Samaria! for he would recover him of his leprosy. —II Kings 5:3.
Her name we know not, nor just where
Her human history began,
Nor whether she was counted fair,
Of years how many made her span—
That little maid, the captive maid,
Who served the wife of Naaman.
We only know that she was kind
To him she might have most abhorred;
She sought his burden to unbind,
This Syrian foe, his fate deplored;
Of wrongs unmindful, she but yearned
That Naaman might be restored.
