Legends of the Northwest, The Feast of the Virgins., part 2, sentence 46

And now with the gifts for the bridal day And his chosen warriors he took his way, And followed his heart to his moon-faced maid, And thus was the lover so long delayed; And so as he rode with his warriors gay, On that bright and beautiful summer day, His bride he met on the trail mid-way, By the haunts of the treacherous Chippeway.

Who acts: Chaskè · What happens: choose, take, follow, be, ride, meet · To what, where: way, heart, lover, bride, trail mid-way
