Legends of the Northwest, In the Measure of Hiawatha, part 1, sentence 64

Only to herself she murmured, All alone with Waub-omeé-meé, On the tall and toppling highland, O'er the wilderness of waters; Murmured to the murmuring waters, Murmured to the Nébe-nâw-baigs-- To the spirits of the waters; On the wild waves poured her sorrow, Save the infant on her bosom With her dark eyes wide with wonder, None to hear her but the spirits, And the murmuring pines above her.

Who acts: rabbit · What happens: murmur, topple, pour, save, hear, sorrow · To what, where: tall highland, murmuring waters, Nébe nâw baigs, sorrow, wild waves, infant
