Overhead drifted a pale crescent moon, and the Southern Cross burned low in the sky.
Martin Eden by London, Jack View in context
The crescent moon, set like a silver signet in the western sky, delayed a little the approach of night.
Uncle Tom's Cabin by Stowe, Harriet Beecher View in context
There were so many dear delights along the golden road to give us pleasure--the earth dappled with new blossom, the dance of shadows in the fields, the rustling, rain-wet ways of the woods, the faint fragrance in meadow lanes, liltings of birds and croon of bees in the old orchard, windy pipings on the hills, sunset behind the pines, limpid dews filling primrose cups, crescent moons through darklings boughs, soft nights alight with blinking stars.
The Golden Road by Montgomery, Lucy Maud View in context
