The foray of Queen Meave, and other legends of Ireland's heroic age, Opening, part 9, sentence 38

And they saw great towers built, and saw them fall; And saw the little seedling tempest-sown; And generations under torch and pall Borne forth to narrow graves ere long grass-grown; And all these things to them were as a dream, Or shade that sleeps on some fast hurrying stream.

Who acts: sufferers, great towers, things, shade · What happens: see, build, fall, sow, bear, grow · To what, where: generations, sufferers, little seedling, fast hurrying stream · Speech: someone speaks here
