His idleness a tune;
Oh, for a bee's experience
Of clovers and of noon! [ Emily Dickinson ]

Eager to taste the honied spring,
And float amid the liquid noon! [ Gray ]

'Tis noon - a calm, unbroken sleep
Is on the blue waves of the deep;
A soft haze, like a fairy dream,
Is floating over wood and stream;
And many a broad magnolia flower,
Within its shadowy woodland bower,
Is gleaming like a lovely star. [ George D. Prentice ]

Sunrise is often lovelier than noon. [ Carlyle ]

His eye was blue and calm, as is the sky
In the serenest noon. [ Willis ]

Irrecoverably dark! total eclipse,
Without all hope of day. [ Milton ]
