🌲 Legends of the Northwest, The Feast of the Virgins., part 5, sentence 79

Still afar on the waters the song, like bridal bells distantly chiming, The stout, jolly boatmen prolong, beating time with the stroke of their paddles; And Winona's ear, turned to the breeze, lists the air falling fainter and fainter Till it dies like the murmur of bees when the sun is aslant on the meadows.

Who acts: bridal bells, jolly boatmen, ear, air, sun · What happens: chime, prolong, beat, turn, list, fall · To what, where: ear, breeze, air, meadows, paddles, bees
