Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Marsh King's Daughter, part 6, sentence 51

So she begged the nightingale to fly to the beechwood, on the peninsula of Jutland, where a mound of stone and twigs had been raised to form the grave, and she begged the nightingale to persuade all the other little birds to build their nests round the place, so that evermore should resound over that grave music and song.

Who acts: nightingale, evermore · What happens: beg, fly, raise, form, persuade, build · To what, where: nightingale, mound, grave, other little birds, nests, grave music
