Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, What the First Little Mouse Saw and Heard on Her Travels, sentence 41

I fancied also that I heard the voices of the cuckoo and the black-bird, and it seemed at last as if the whole forest sent forth glorious melodies--the voices of children, the tinkling of bells, and the songs of the birds; and all this wonderful melody came from the elfin maypole.

Who acts: I, it, wonderful melody, birds · What happens: fancy, hear, seem, send, come, sing · To what, where: voices, last, whole forest, elfin maypole
