The foray of Queen Meave, and other legends of Ireland's heroic age, Opening, part 5, sentence 3

More high when seen through mist: to watch it quivering; From rock to cloud to track the eagle’s flight; And then, close by, on spray shining and shivering, To mark the tender-footed bird alight, Or flower down-bending ’neath the silenced bee, Or gleam from rill remote on-winding noiselessly!

Who acts: mist, rill remote · What happens: see, watch, quiver, track, shine, shiver · To what, where: More, mist, flight, footed bird, silenced bee
