The foray of Queen Meave, and other legends of Ireland's heroic age, Opening, part 4, sentence 44
And found those lovers in that lonely haunt, That sunset round them glowing and above; And saw the forests flash, the blue waves pant; And heard that mingled praise of war and love:-- Then ceased that pair, and softly smiled, and said, ‘What makes us glad is this; we two are wed!’
Who acts: lovers, forests, blue waves · What happens: find, glow, see, flash, pant, hear · To what, where: lovers, lonely haunt, sunset, praise, pair, us · Speech: someone speaks here
