Legends of the Northwest, The Feast of the Virgins., part 3, sentence 51

The years sprinkled frost on the head of her father; And three weary winters she dreamed of the fearless and fair-bearded Frenchmen; In her sweet sleep their swift paddles gleamed on the breast of the broad Mississippi, And the eyes of the brave strangers beamed on the maid in the midst of her slumber.

Who acts: years, three weary winters, Master · What happens: sprinkle, dream, gleam, beam, sleep, slumber · To what, where: frost, head, swift paddles, breast, brave strangers, midst
