wall night light
In the long, sleepless watches of the night, A gentle face the face of one long dead Looks at me from the wall, where round its head The night-lamp casts a halo of pale light.
life fire light
The lamps are lit, the fires burn bright. The house is full of life and light.
night light world
Out of the shdows of night The world rolls into light.
death light bridges
The grave itself is but a covered bridge, Leading from light to light, through a brief darkness!
light years white
O little souls! as pure as white And crystalline as rays of light Direct from heaven, their source divine; Refracted through the mist of years, How red my setting sun appears, How lurid looks this soul of mine!
fear light unbroken
It was a high counsel that I once heard given to a young person, "Always do what you are afraid to do."The rays of happiness, like those of light, are colorless when unbroken.
sunset light hands
By unseen hands uplifted in the light Of sunset, yonder solitary cloud Floats, with its white apparel blown abroad, And wafted up to heaven.
lying ambition light
I see, but cannot reach, the height That lies forever in the light.
wall night light
I heard the trailing garments of the Night Sweep through her marble halls! I saw her sable skirts all fringed with light From the celestial walls! I felt her presence, by its spell of might, Stoop o'er me from above; The calm, majestic presence of the Night, As of the one I love.
wings white light
The swallow is come! The swallow is come! O, fair are the seasons, and light Are the days that she brings, With her dusky wings, And her bosom snowy white!
sunset light red
Down sank the great red sun, and in golden, glimmering vapors Veiled the light of his face, like the Prophet descending from Sinai.
prayer light ajax
The prayer of Ajax was for light.
beautiful summer light
Then followed that beautiful season... Summer.... Filled was the air with a dreamy and magical light; and the landscape Lay as if new created in all the freshness of childhood.
adversity light unbroken
The rays of happiness, like those of light, are colorless when unbroken.
