    • 1960, P[elham] G[renville] Wodehouse, “chapter XII”, in Jeeves in the Offing, London: Herbert Jenkins, OCLC 1227855:
      Arriving at Brinkley in the quiet evenfall and putting the old machine away in the garage, I noticed that Aunt Dahlia's car was there and gathered from this that the aged relative was around and about once more.
    • Katharine Tynan, The Exile
      The wind that blows across them calls
      Ever at dawns and evenfalls,
      And I am suddenly forlorn.
      Across the pastures and ripe corn
      I see the mountains in my dreams.
