Legends of the Northwest, The Feast of the Virgins., part 1, sentence 31

She clutched her hair in her clenched hand: She stood like statue bronzed and grand: Wakân-deè [39] flashed in her fiery eyes; Then, swift as the meteor cleaves the skies-- Nay, swift as the fiery Wakinyan's dart, [32] She snatch the knife from the warriors belt, And plunged it clean to the polished hilt-- With deadly cry--in the villain's heart.

Who acts: Wiwâstè, meteor, 32 · What happens: clutch, clench, stand, bronze, flash, swift · To what, where: hair, clenched hand, Wakân deè, fiery eyes, swift, skies
