The Widows Mite.
Room for a wealthy Benefactor; he,Behold, draws neer unto the Treasury:
Others approach with their abundant store,
But here's a Widow, who, although she's poor,
Hath outdone all, her bounty to display;
For her's was giv'n, and theirs but cast away.
And she was noted for a true believer;
For God delighteth in a cheerful giver.
