Frank J. Wilstach, comp. A Dictionary of Similes. 1916.
A. J. Ryan
Light as clear as that which fills eternity.Her eyes were like a heaven, where sunlight always glows.Frail as a flake of snow.Holy as bowers where angels have flown.Meet and mingle like human fear and hope.Pure as thoughts that thrill a saint.Sad as tears to the eyes that are bright.Sleeps like a dream in a grave.Soft as the gleam after sunset
That hangs like a halo of grace
Where the daylight had died in the valley.Spotless as a lily’s leaf.Still as the gleam of a star through the dark.Sweet as smiles to the lips that are pale.Sweet as the dew-drops that fall on the roses in May.Sweet as the Summer’s birds.Wings as white as a dream of snow in love and light.
