Yes, the old lost stars wheel back, dear lass, That blaze in the velvet blue.

Twilight deepened from an orange sky in the west to the velvet blue of the east.

A full moon hung like a burnished shield in skies of deep velvet blue, watching the friends making their good-byes.

Black was shading into deep velvet blue; night was nearly over.

Proudly to the velvet blue.

The sky was a rich velvet blue, and the sun was just rising above the mountains to the east.

Yet the Arrau sound - its velvet blues and blacks - ennobled Liszt.

Farther south along the spiny, dark road, the velvet blue of evening silhouettes a rooftop gathering of troops looking down into another restless Palestinian district.

Overhead, the sky was growing dark, and in the far east there the first few stars were coming out, pale diamond-dust against the velvet blue.

The top of the Asakusa was already obscured as night rolled in in velvet blues and violets.
