- 1905 September 9, Edith M[atilda] Thomas, “The Place of Comfort”, in The Congregationalist and Christian World, volume XC, number 36, Boston, Mass.: The Pilgrim Press, page 337:
- A stream ran out to meet the sea’s long moan, / Lulling with a soft burden of its own; / From bending branches breathed the fragrant air / Not rudelier than when a dreamer’s hair / Across a dreamer’s unwaked eyes is blown.
- Not having had a wake or vigil.
- 1907, Macmillan's Magazine, volume 2, page 430:
- […] so knitted into their lives has it become, so entirely a part of their thoughts, even of their very being, that to bury the dead unwaked is to commit a sacrilege beyond the power of description.
