Elijah

As champion of the God of Israel,
Alone he faced the pagan priests of Bel;
Sublime his life, and when the ending came
God took him in a chariot of flame.

Elisha

Fearless in speech and great in miracle,
On him the mantle of Elijah fell;
He cleansed the Syrian leper from his stain,
And raised the Shunammite to life again.
