Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, A Little Boy and a Little Girl, sentence 86

They flew over woods and lakes, over sea and land; below them roared the wild wind; the wolves howled and the snow crackled; over them flew the black screaming crows, and above all shone the moon, clear and bright,--and so Kay passed through the long winter's night, and by day he slept at the feet of the Snow Queen.

Who acts: songs, wolves, snow, Kay, fur · What happens: fly, roar, howl, crackle, shine, clear · To what, where: woods, wild wind, black screaming crows, moon, feet
