🌲 Legends and tales of the Harz Mountains, A Historical Tale., part 5, sentence 49

The evening of an October Sunday fell softly over the mountains; the tops of the fir-trees, rocks, and mountains were bathed in the golden splendour of sunset; on the whole scene lay deep silence, only the waves of the Oder murmured in the distance their eternal song; only the timid game left its secure hiding-place, stole cautiously with light, slow steps out of the thickets, and sought the spicy plants or the cooling spring.

Who acts: evening, waves, timid game, mountains · What happens: fall, bath, lie, murmur, leave, steal · To what, where: tops, mountains, golden splendour, deep silence, whole scene, secure hiding place
