Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Snowdrop, sentence 37

She was strong in joy and in faith in the summer, which would be sure to come, which had been announced by her deep longing and confirmed by the warm sunlight; and so she remained standing in confidence in the snow in her white garment, bending her head even while the snow-flakes fell thick and heavy, and the icy winds swept over her.

Who acts: flower, deep longing, snow flakes, icy winds · What happens: be, come, announce, confirm, remain, stand · To what, where: joy, confidence, head
