The foray of Queen Meave, and other legends of Ireland's heroic age, Opening, part 10, sentence 48

Faint as that blush which lights some matron’s cheek Tenderly pleased by gentle praise deserved-- That island’s winding coast from creek to creek Like curves of shells with dream-like beauty swerved: And midmost spread a lake; from mortal eyes Vanished this day like man’s lost paradise.

Who acts: blush, shells, midmost, mortal eyes · What happens: light, deserve, wind, swerve, spread, vanish · To what, where: cheek, gentle praise, coast, creek, lake, paradise
