And as it touched his skin, at that moment he heard in the silence of the night the voice of a warder, singing as he went his round upon the city wall: _Whatsoever high-caste man has been to the Land of the Lotus of the Sun, let him come to the King: he shall share the King's kingdom and marry the King's daughter_.

Who acts: sword, sun, caste man · What happens: touch, hear, sing, go, be, let · To what, where: skin, silence, sun, kingdom, daughter, night · Speech: someone speaks here
