Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, Anne Lisbeth, sentence 155

I am the raven-mother; I am the raven-mother," each raven croaked, and Anne Lisbeth felt that the name also applied to her; and she fancied she should be transformed into a black bird, and have to cry as they cried, if she did not dig the grave.

Who acts: I, Anne, name, crosses · What happens: be, croak, feel, apply, fancy, transform · To what, where: raven mother, raven, Anne, grave · Speech: someone speaks here
