Celtic Fairy Tales, The Story of Deirdre, sentence 64

Though early rose the song of the birds mid the rocky caves and the music of the birds in the grove, earlier than that did Connachar, King of Ulster, arise, with his little troop of dear friends, in the delightful twilight of the fresh and gentle May; the dew was heavy on each bush and flower and stem, as they went to bring Deirdre forth from the green knoll where she stayed.

Who acts: song, dew, King · What happens: rise, mi, do, arise, be, go · To what, where: rocky caves, grove, Connachar, bush, Deirdre, green knoll
