Kulóskap the master, and other Algonkin poems, Opening, part 7, sentence 9

He did so--when all her wrinkles Vanished, and she became Very young and fair: The travellers had never In all their lives beheld A maid so beautiful: Her hair, once white and scanty, Now hung to her very feet, It was as dark and glossy As any blackbird’s breast; And, clad in fine array, She showed a tall lithe form, Graceful, in all points perfect.

Who acts: Go, wrinkles, thing, travellers, lives, hair · What happens: do, vanish, become, have, behold, hang · To what, where: lives, maid, feet, thing, fine array, tall lithe form
