🌲 Legends of the Northwest, The Feast of the Virgins., part 7, sentence 117

Like magás [b] ride the birchen canoes on the breast of the dark Gitchee Seebee; By the willow-fringed islands they cruise by the grassy hills green to their summits; By the lofty bluffs hooded with oaks that darken the deep with their shadows; And bright in the sun gleam the strokes of the oars in the hands of the women.

Who acts: magás, canoe, oaks · What happens: ride, fringe, cruise, hood, darken, gleam · To what, where: birchen canoes, breast, lofty bluffs, deep, strokes, hands
