Poetry examples for “dight”

Excerpts from the ReadingWillow English Library collection.

And, knowing this, I wonder less
That she’s so scorn’d, when falsely dight
In misery and ugliness.

Whilome thy fresh spring flower'd, and after hasted
Thy summer proud, with daffodillies dight;
And now is come thy winter's stormy state,

So calm, so cool, as nowhere else I find;
The grassy ground with dainty daisies dight,
The bramble bush, where birds of every kind

dight

Ride out to church from Chambery,° °21
Dight° with mantles gay. °22
But else it is a lonely time

But he who craves the flower of life full-blown,
Must struggle up in all his armor dight!
What though the burden bear him sorely down

While a water-sprite,
In sea-pearls dight,
Hums a sea-hymn's solemn bars.

With his holy vestments dight,
Stood the new Pope, Theocrite:

His knife see rustic-labour dight,
An' cut you up wi' ready slight,

Should rue this hasty ride,
I'll light now, and dight now
His sweaty, wizen'd hide.
