The Blue Fairy Book, The Terrible Head, sentence 13

Though your mother’s care is deep, You can lie with heart at rest In the narrow brass-bound chest; In the starless night and drear You can sleep, and never hear Billows breaking, and the cry Of the night-wind wandering by; In soft purple mantle sleeping With your little face on mine, Hearing not your mother weeping And the breaking of the brine.”

Who acts: care, You, Billows, night wind, soft purple mantle, mother · What happens: be, lie, sleep, not hear, break, wonder · To what, where: rest, Billows
