The meek-eyed Morn appears, mother of dews. [ Thomson ]
Love waits for love, though the sun be set,
And the stars come out, the dews are wet,
And the night-winds moan. [ Dr. Walter Smith ]
Fairest of all that earth beholds, the hues
That live among the clouds, and flush the air,
Lingering and deepening at the hour of dews. [ Bryant ]
So lightly walks, she not one mark imprints,
Nor brushes off the dews, nor soils the tints. [ Churchill ]
The dews of the evening most carefully shun,
Those tears of the sky for the loss of the sun. [ Chesterfield ]
Remorse is as the heart in which it grows.
If that be gentle, it drops balmy dews
Of true repentance; but if proud and gloomy,
It is the poison tree that, pierced to the inmost,
Weeps only tears of poison. [ Coleridge ]
Proud be the rose, with rain and dews her head impearling. [ Wordsworth ]
The starlight dews, all silently their tears of love distil. [ Byron ]
Hushed as the falling dews, whose noiseless showers impearl the folded leaves of evening flowers. [ Congreve ]
When flowers are full of heaven-descended dews, they always hang their heads; but men hold theirs the higher the more they receive, getting proud as they get full. [ Beecher ]
The avaricious man is like the barren sandy ground of the desert, which sucks in all the rain and dews with greediness, but yields no fruitful herbs or plants for the benefit of others. [ Zeno ]
