Usage in poetry
A storm-cloud all aglow
With flashes of fiery red—
The thunder raging below,
And the forest of flags o'erhead!
The mortal frame that rests below
This consecrated sward,
Was late with heavenly hope aglow,
A temple of the Lord.
I saw the sunlight in her eyes,
And her anemone lips aglow;
She beckoned in beguiling wise;
I could not choose but go.
All of the leading problems
Of the country's weal or woe,
Were discussed while there at congress,
And her mind was all aglow.
Thrushes warble, throats aglow,
through the plains and islands —-
I like roundup, even so,
when autumn fills the highlands.
There is a song some one must sing,
In tender tones and low,
With pink lips curled and quivering,
And eyes with dreams aglow.
