How often, when I am enjoying the sweet hour of twilight, do I think of the sadness that has so long o'ershadowed her brow, and ardently entreat the God of love and mercy to give her that peace which is found only in a resignation to his just and holy will. How numerous are our favors!
Dark is still his countenance; the shadow of his hand danceth upon it. O'ershadowed is still the sense of his eye. His deed itself is still the shadow upon him: his doing obscureth the doer.

"Sife in the h'arms of Jesus, Sife on 'is gentle breast, There by 'is love o'ershadowed Sweetly my soul shall rest." He cut it short at the end of one verse, for he could endure no more of that the tears were in his eyes.
I bid thee adieu with a sigh and I see, for the loss of thee, The East and the West o'ershadowed with mourning and dismay. When the Vizier had finished, he wept sore, and the tears fell from his eyes, like a network of pearls.
But when they came north of the long island, they bent to their oars, and as they rowed yet northward Deirdre laughed again for joy, as she listened to the music of the rowers' strokes. When dawn glimmered they came to a sea-loch, its waters o'ershadowed by the sleeping hills.
