Legends of the Northwest, The Feast of the Virgins., part 2, sentence 66

At last, when their locks were as white as snow, Beloved and honored by all the band, They silently slipped from their lodge below, And walked together, and hand in hand, O'er the Shining Path [68] to the Spirit-land; Where the hills and the meadows for aye and aye Are clad with the verdure and flowers of May, And the unsown prairies of Paradise Yield the golden maize and the sweet wild rice.

Who acts: locks · What happens: be, belov, honor, slip, walk, clad · To what, where: last, hand, hills
