Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Bird of Popular Song, sentence 20

Nought was to be seen but the green turfy mound, with the stones on which no Runic record has been graven; but at the last sound of the harp there soared over the hill, as though he had fluttered from the harp, a little bird, a charming singing-bird, with ringing voice of the thrush, with the moving voice pathos of the human heart, with a voice that told of home, like the voice that is heard by the bird of passage.

Who acts: form, voice, bird · What happens: see, grave, soar, flutter, charm, ring · To what, where: Nought, Runic record, stones, last sound, harp, voice · Speech: someone speaks here
