Kulóskap the master, and other Algonkin poems, Opening, part 19, sentence 36

So he kept on a-leaping, But to him there came no comfort, Not even the glow of a spark; And being at last aweary He fell in a swoon on the wood-pile, And so he froze to death, And that was the last that winter, Which was heard of him in the land.

Who acts: Lox, that, spark · What happens: keep, come, be, fall, freeze, hear · To what, where: leaping, comfort, Lox, swoon, winter, land
