Legends of the Northwest, Heyóka Wacípee [16]--the Giant's Dance., sentence 123

Proudly she turned from the silent brave, And went her way; but the warrior's eyes-- They flashed with the flame of a sudden fire, Like the lights that gleam in the Sacred Cave, [38] When the black night covers the autumn skies, And the stars from their welkin watch retire.

Who acts: fox, leaves, lights, black night, stars, sudden fire · What happens: turn, go, flash, gleam, cover, retire · To what, where: eyes, way, 38, Sacred Cave, autumn skies
