Legends and tales of the Harz Mountains, A Historical Tale., part 6, sentence 49

Since that time nothing has been seen or heard of the dwarfs, and not only here but everywhere they are vanished; but their memory lives in the mouth of the people, and when the icy north wind blows, and the snow beats against the windows, young men and maidens gather around the fire in confidential chat, and to the rattling of the wheel tell of the deep clefts of the mountains, where in eternal night the dwarfs once held their weddings, and where gnomes and nymphs and fairies in darkness dwell.

Who acts: memory, icy north wind, snow, windows, dwarfs, wheel tell · What happens: see, hear, vanish, live, blow, beat · To what, where: dwarfs, mouth, fire, weddings
