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

Uncalled

As light November snows to empty nests,
As grass to graves, as moss to mildewed stones,
As July suns to ruins, through the rents,
As ministering spirits to mourners, through a loss,
As Heaven itself to men, through pangs of death,
He came uncalled wherever grief had come.
—Elizabeth Barrett Browning
