Dawn had begun to break, and daylight crept over the barren countryside.

In an instant Sabat saw that it was 7am and that daylight was creeping in through the curtains.

Suddenly, just as pale daylight was creeping in behind the curtains, she stretched out her arms with such a quick and violent motion that she almost threw her baby on the floor.

We were in haste to be off because the grain for the ponies was running short, so we left before I had fully recovered, starting one morning as soon as daylight had crept midway down into the valley over which the ledge in front of the cave mouth hung like an eagle's eerie.

When daylight crept in the window, she was up earlier than usual, and she dressed quietly so as not to disturb Carol or her parents.

The early daylight was only just creeping down into the shadows under the trees, but he saw his master's face very clearly, and his hands, too, lying at rest on the ground beside him.

The morning came and daylight crept in at the burnt-out doorway and windows.

She gazed toward the front of the room, where daylight crept in through an open archway.

A bird cheeped, and daylight crept in.

At last daylight crept back into the sombre cleft of the lake.
