Poetry examples for “bedight”

Excerpts from the ReadingWillow English Library collection.

Gaily bedight,
A gallant knight,

Within the lonesome latter years!
An angel throng, bewinged, bedight
In veils, and drowned in tears,

With the myriad stars in beauty
All bedight, the heavens were seen,
Radiant hopes were bright around me,

And pale as the Imperial Night
Upon her throne, with stars bedight,
Enthralled my soul to thee!

For Colin fits such famous flight to scan;
He, were he not with love so ill bedight,
Would mount as high and sing as sweet as swan.

I am an Unknown Knight,
Three modest Maidens have me bedight."

That Indian-like bepaints its little thighs,
With white and red bedight for holiday,
Right earlily a-morn do pipe and play

And scuds the cloud before the gale, 10
Ere the Morn all gem-bedight
Hath streak'd the East with rosy light,

[11] Ere Morn with living gems bedight MS. 4{o}E, 1796, 1797, 1803,
1828, 1829.
