Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, In a Thousand Years, sentence 5

The Thames, the Danube, and the Rhine still roll their course, Mont Blanc stands firm with its snow-capped summit, and the Northern Lights gleam over the land of the North; but generation after generation has become dust, whole rows of the mighty of the moment are forgotten, like those who already slumber under the hill on which the rich trader, whose ground it is, has built a bench, on which he can sit and look out across his waving corn fields.

Who acts: Rhine, Thames, Northern Lights, generation, Mont · What happens: roll, stand, cap, gleam, become, forget · To what, where: course, land, dust, hill, rich trader, waving corn fields
