The foray of Queen Meave, and other legends of Ireland's heroic age, Opening, part 10, sentence 41

Yet still along that silver mere they lingered Oaring their weeping way by lawn and cape, Till evening, purple-stoled and dewy-fingered, O’er heaven’s sweet face had woven its veil of crape; And tenderer came from darkening wood and wild The voice far off of woman or of child.

Who acts: towers, tenderer · What happens: linger, oar, stole, finger, weave, come · To what, where: silver mere, weeping way, sweet face, wood, voice
