IT is growing dark.

At such a sunset I have been with Saul—

But saw it not. I only saw his eyes

And the wild beauty of his roaming locks,

And—oh! there never was a man like Saul!

Strong arm, and gentle heart and tender ways

To win a woman's very soul, were his.

When he would take my hand and look on me,

And whisper "Rizpah"—ah! those days are gone!

Why should I weep? was I not loved by Saul?
