  Brighten like a morning of young spring.
            —John M. Leavitt		  1

That the cold wind makes in rivers.

  Brighten, like a meadow when the sun comes out.
            —Dinah Maria Mulock		  3
  Brightened, like the full moon of heaven; when the clouds vanish away, and leave her calm and broad in the midst of the sky.
            —Ossian		  4
Brightens all my sorrow,
Like gleams of sunshine in a low’ring sky.
            —Ambrose Philips		  5
            Brightened
As a forest with birds.
