The Blue Fairy Book, The Terrible Head, sentence 74

Round and round the tree of gold, Round and round dance we, So doth the great world spin from of old, Summer and winter, and fire and cold, Song that is sung, and tale that is told, Even as we dance, that fold and unfold Round the stem of the fairy tree!

Who acts: you, we, that · What happens: round, do, sing, tell, dance, fold · To what, where: tree, great world spin, old, Song, tale, fairy tree · Speech: someone speaks here
