Legends of the Northwest, The Feast of the Virgins., part 6, sentence 52

From the heads of the maples the west-wind Plucks the red-and-gold plumage and grieves on the meads for the rose and the lily; Their brown leaves the moaning oaks strew, and the breezes that roam on the prairies, Low-whistling and wanton pursue the down of the silk weed and thistle.

Who acts: west wind, brown, moaning oaks, breezes · What happens: pluck, grieve, leave, strew, roam, pursue · To what, where: red gold plumage, heads, meads, prairies, down
