🌲 Legends of the Northwest, The Feast of the Virgins., part 2, sentence 22

For leagues away o'er the prairies green, On the billowy vast, may a man be seen, When the sun is high and the stars are low; And the sable breast of the strutting crow Looms up like the form of the buffalo.

Who acts: sun, stars, sable breast · What happens: see, be, loom up, form · To what, where: man, buffalo
