Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Bell-deep, sentence 4

In the Au grow the yellow water-lilies and brown feathery reeds; the dark velvety flag grows there, high and thick; old and decayed willows, slanting and tottering, hang far out over the stream beside the monk's meadow and by the bleaching ground; but opposite there are gardens upon gardens, each different from the rest, some with pretty flowers and bowers like little dolls' pleasure grounds, often displaying cabbage and other kitchen plants; and here and there the gardens cannot be seen at all, for the great elder trees that spread themselves out by the bank, and hang far out over the streaming waters, which are deeper here and there than an oar can fathom.

Who acts: dark velvety flag, great elder trees, streaming waters, oar · What happens: grow, decay, slant, totter, hang, display · To what, where: yellow water lilies, Au, willows, stream, cabbage, gardens
