Legends of the Northwest, The Feast of the Virgins., part 1, sentence 19

Then up from his seat in the silent crowd Rose the frowning, fierce-eyed, tall Red Cloud; Swift was his stride as the panther's spring, When he leaps on the fawn from his cavern lair; Wiwâstè he caught by her flowing hair, And dragged her forth from the Sacred Ring.

Who acts: Swift, song, Wiwâstè · What happens: rise, be, leap, catch, flow, drag · To what, where: frowning, seat, stride, fawn, Wiwâstè, Sacred Ring
