Oriental tales, for the entertainment of youth, The Story of Almet., sentence 22

The walk was shaded with trees of every kind, that were covered at once with blossoms and fruit; innumerable birds were singing in the branches; the grass was intermingled with flowers, which impregnated the breeze with fragrance, and painted the path with beauty; on one side flowed a gentle, transparent stream, which was just heard to murmur over the golden sands that sparkled at the bottom; and on the other were walks and bowers, fountains, grottoes, and cascades, which diversified the scene with endless variety, but did not conceal the bounds.

Who acts: trees, innumerable birds, gentle transparent stream, golden sands, cascades · What happens: shade, cover, sing, intermingle, impregnate, paint · To what, where: walk, that, branches, grass, breeze, path
