The foray of Queen Meave, and other legends of Ireland's heroic age, Opening, part 10, sentence 32

Up from the sea they rose in widening gyre, And hung suspended mid the ethereal blue, And saw, far-flashing in the sunset’s fire, A wood-girt lake whose splendour well they knew; And flew all night; and reached at dawn its shore-- Ah, then rang out that wail ne’er heard before!

Who acts: brothers, wail ne’er, sunset · What happens: rise, widen, hang, suspend, see, flash · To what, where: wood, sea, gyre, fire, lake, splendour · Speech: someone speaks here
