Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, A Story From the Sand-hills, part 6, sentence 9

Then music was heard again; it was wonderfully sweet, like a child's voice, full of joy and expectation, swelling to the powerful tones of a full organ, sometimes soft and sweet, then like the sounds of a tempest, delightful and elevating to hear, yet strong enough to burst the stone tombs of the dead.

Who acts: music · What happens: hear, be, swell, elevate, burst, intonate · To what, where: music, sounds, stone tombs, full organ
