• What has roots as nobody sees,Is taller than trees,Up, up it goes,And yet never grows?
• Thirty white horses on a red hill,First they champ,Then they stamp,Then they stand still.
• Voiceless it cries,Wingless flutters,toothless bites,Mouthless mutters.
• An eye in a blue faceSaw an eye in a green face."That eye is like to this eye"Said the first eye,"but in low placeNot in high place."

• It cannot be seen, cannot be felt,Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt.It lies behind stars and under hills,And empty holes it fills.It comes first and follows after,Ends life, kills laughter.
• A box without hinges, key, or lid,yet golden treasure inside is hid.
• Alive without breath,As cold as death;Never thirsty, ever drinking,All in mail never clinking.
• This thing all things devours:Birds, beasts, trees, flowers;Gnaws iron, bites steel;Grinds hard stones to meal;Slays king, ruins town,And beats high mountain down.
