Kulóskap the master, and other Algonkin poems, Opening, part 6, sentence 24

For, when the wedding came In the evening of that day, There was a general dance, A wild festivity, At which the wizard bold Astonished every one; For as he danced around On the hard beaten floor, They saw his feet sink in Deeper at every step, And ever deeper still As the strange dance went on, Still ploughing up the ground In ridges rough and high, Forming a trench, until His head and nothing more Could from without be seen.

Who acts: wedding, wizard bold, bold, dance, feet, strange dance · What happens: come, astonish, one, be, beat, see · To what, where: wild festivity, hard beaten floor, Deeper, ground, ridges, trench · Speech: someone speaks here
