Legends and tales of the Harz Mountains, A Historical Tale., part 6, sentence 103

Soon the joy at these nightly assemblies was changed to sorrow, and when the moonlight called the fairy forms of wood-nymphs and mermaids into life, they wept together over their vanished sisters and friends, and not one was sure that the following day the same sad fate would not be her destiny.

Who acts: moonlight, one, same sad fate · What happens: change, sorrow, call, weep, vanish, be · To what, where: joy, fairy forms, life, destiny, wood nymphs · Speech: someone speaks here
