Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Old Street Lamp, sentence 64

"This is a glorious gift," said he; "the bright stars have always been a joy to me, and have always shone more brilliantly than I ever could shine, though I have tried with my whole might; and now they have noticed me, a poor old lamp, and have sent me a gift that will enable me to see clearly everything that I remember, as if it still stood before me, and to be seen by all those who love me.

Who acts: This, glorious gift, bright stars, personages, gift, star · What happens: be, say, shine, try, notice, send · To what, where: glorious gift, joy, gift, everything · Speech: someone speaks here
