The foray of Queen Meave, and other legends of Ireland's heroic age, Opening, part 5, sentence 74

‘All night I saw three birds from Erin’s peaks To Alba strain through tempest and eclipse: Three honey-drops they wafted on their beaks:-- O Love! they dropped that sweetness on thy lips; Ere long each death-black beak, and crownèd head With life-blood from thy heart, O Love, was red!’

Who acts: I, Three honey drops, Love · What happens: see, waft, drop, be · To what, where: three birds, peaks, beaks, lips
