🌲 Legends of the Northwest, The Feast of the Virgins., part 5, sentence 83

On the slopes of the emerald shores leafy woodlands and prairies alternate; On the vine-tangled islands the flowers peep timidly out at the white men; In the dark-winding eddy the loon sits warily, watching and voiceless, And the wild goose, in reedy lagoon, stills the prattle and play of her children.

Who acts: leafy woodlands, flowers, loon, children · What happens: shore, alternate, tangle, peep, wind, sit · To what, where: slopes, wild goose, winding eddy, prattle
