Legends of the Northwest, Heyóka Wacípee [16]--the Giant's Dance., sentence 79

But the brawny bulls in the swarthy van Turned their polished horns to the charging foes, And reckless rider and fleet foot-man Were held at bay in the drifted snows, While the bellowing herd o'er the hill-tops ran, Like the frightened beasts of a caravan On the Sahara's sands when the simoon blows.

Who acts: brawny bulls, bellowing herd, simoon · What happens: turn, polish, hold, drift, bellow, run · To what, where: polished horns, charging foes, reckless rider, bay
