Legends of the Northwest, The Feast of the Virgins., part 6, sentence 21

In the gray of the morn, ere the sun peeped over the dewy horizon, Their journey again was begun, and they toiled up the swift, winding river; And many a shallow they passed on their way to the Lake of the Spirits; But dauntless they reached it at last, and found Akee-pá-kee-tin's village, [a] On an isle in the midst of the lake; and a day in his teepee they tarried.

Who acts: sun, Sons, many · What happens: ere, peep, begin, toil up, wind, pass · To what, where: gray, journey, swift, river, way, last
