The foray of Queen Meave, and other legends of Ireland's heroic age, Opening, part 5, sentence 92

But Deirdré stood upon the vessel’s stern, Alone, with eyes on Alba’s headlands bent, Dreaming the hills she could no more discern, And as they faded thus she made lament, ‘O Land, our home no more, to me and mine Gentle thou wert; therefore my heart is thine!

Who acts: Deirdré, hills, heart · What happens: stand, dream, not discern, fade, make, be · To what, where: stern, hills, lament, me, thine
