The foray of Queen Meave, and other legends of Ireland's heroic age, Opening, part 9, sentence 35
The words of that high music no one knew; Yet all men felt there lived a meaning there Immortal, marvellous, searching, strengthening, true, The pledge of some great future, strange and fair, When sin shall lose her might, and cleansing woe Shall on the Just some starry crown bestow.
Who acts: one, men, words, sin, starry crown · What happens: know, feel, live, search, strengthen, lose · To what, where: high music, words, meaning, woe, Just, great future
