Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, (written For the Schiller Album), sentence 10
In that solemn hour the sweet and joyous chiming filled the hearts of those in the humble dwelling with thankfulness and trust; and when, amidst these joyous sounds, a little son was born to them, the words of prayer and praise arose from their overflowing hearts, and their happiness seemed to ring out over town and country in the liquid tones of the church bells' chime.
Who acts: words, happiness · What happens: chime, fill, bear, arise, seem, ring out · To what, where: little son, dwelling, overflowing hearts, town, prayer, chime
