Under the opening eyelids of the morn. [ Milton ]

An Arab, by his earnest gaze,
Has clothed a lovely maid with blushes;
A smile within his eyelids plays
And into words his longing gushes. [ Wm. R. Alger ]

Music, which gentler on the spirit lies than tired eyelids upon tired eyes. [ Tennyson ]

Sweet sleep fell upon his eyelids, unwakeful, most pleasant, the nearest like death. [ Homer ]

The timely dew of sleep, now falling with soft slumbrous weight, inclines our eyelids. [ Milton ]

O Love! when thou findest thy true apostles on earth united in kisses, thou commandest their eyelids to close like veils, that they may not see their happiness! [ A. de Musset ]

If ever you have looked on better days, if ever been where bells have knolled to church, if ever sat at any good man's feast, if ever from your eyelids wiped a tear and know what it is to pity and be pitied, let gentleness my strong enforcement sue. [ William Shakespeare ]
