English Fairy Tales, Childe Rowland, sentence 34

“Go on a little further,” said the hen-wife, “till you come to a round green hill, surrounded with terrace-rings, from the bottom to the top; go round it three times, widershins, and each time say:

Who acts: hen wife, you · What happens: go, say, come, surround · To what, where: bottom, round green hill, top · Speech: someone speaks here

The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (hen wife, you), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
