Brow

Her brow … is like the young moon.
—Anonymous

Her brows like bended bows do stand,
Threatening with piercing frowns to kill
All that approach with eye or hand
These sacred cherries to come nigh.
—English Ballad

Her browe was like the mountain snae
Gilt by the morning beam.
—Scottish Ballad

His brow was like the deep when tempest toss’d.
—Lord Byron

Brows like cloudless day.
—Eliza Cook

Her brow is like the snaw-drift.
—William Douglas

Brows—thin like the stroke of a pen.
—Douglas Hyde (Love Songs of Connacht)

Thy brow like smooth Bandhûka-leaves.
—Jayadeva
