When the moon mounted her blue throne, and cast her pure silvery glance over the silent and noble forests, it was as if a light shiver fell on the trees, as if they became animated, and assumed the forms of maidens, who in the pale light skipped upon the mountains, or descended to the lake or the Bode, to visit their neighbours the mermaids, still and innocent as themselves, who swam the light waves radiant in the smile of Queen Luna.

Who acts: moon, light shiver, trees, forms, light, material · What happens: mount, cast, fall, become, assume, skip · To what, where: blue throne, pure silvery glance, silent forests, trees, forms, pale light
