Frank J. Wilstach, comp. A Dictionary of Similes. 1916.

Evan MacColl

Bright as the sunbeam of the morning.

She died—as die the roses
On the ruddy clouds of dawn,
When the envious sun discloses
His flame, and morning’s gone.

Fair as bride to altar lead.

Gay as the hawthorn in May.

Gentle as a sigh love-fraught.

Light as fairy footsteps.

Welcome as a boon long sought.
