^{And Eliezer, baffled silent, stood}^{As she fulfilled his every wish and dream}^{And so much more. He knew what this would mean.}^{He saw from there that all God does is good.}

^{And so he waited patient as he could,}^{So in the proper time he true could deem}^{That God in truth his path had planned and seen,}^{The way his master said and prayed he would.}

^{And Rivkah finished her kindness with a smile,}^{And Jewish destiny smiled back all the while.}
