Kulóskap the master, and other Algonkin poems, Opening, part 17, sentence 5

The mighty wind-giants Flew to the fight, Great snow-flakes And heavy hail-stones Met and melted With the great rain-drops; Winds were loud roaring, Thunder pealing, Tempest fighting tempest, Storm against storm; The drops of sweat Grew ever bigger On Pûn’s cheeks; On Nipon’s head The hair grew whiter; Louder and louder The winds were blowing, Snow was falling, Thicker and thicker, But the driving rain And the mild south winds Were ever warmer And bigger the drops Grew on Pûn’s face; His strength had left him.

Who acts: mighty wind giants, Winds, loud roaring, hair, Snow · What happens: fly, meet, melt, be, fight, grow · To what, where: heavy hail stones, loud roaring, tempest, Louder, head, Thicker
