Legends and tales of the Harz Mountains, Legends and Tales., part 5, sentence 1

"Sitting the other day in the enchanting valley of the graceful Ilse, leaping proudly and gaily in a thousand tiny waterfalls over the moss-grown stones, as if conscious of her royal origin, I wrote the following lines, which express faintly my feelings, and which I beg you to keep as a souvenir of our first meeting.

Who acts: I, following lines · What happens: sit, enchant, leap, grow, write, follow · To what, where: enchanting valley, thousand tiny waterfalls, following lines, feelings, you · Speech: someone speaks here
