Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Bell-deep, sentence 14

Down in the Au-mann's haunt it sounds and rings, so that the tones sometimes pierce upward through the waters; and many people maintain that its strains forebode the death of some one; but that is not true, for the Bell is only talking with the Au-mann, who is now no longer alone.

Who acts: haunt, tones, many people, strains, that, Au · What happens: sound, ring, pierce, maintain, forebode, not be · To what, where: death
