What has roots as nobody sees, Is taller than trees Up, up it goes, And yet never grows
No-legs lay on one-leg, two legs sat near on three legs, four legs got some.
An eye in a blue face Saw an eye in a green face. 'That eye is like to this eye' Said the first eye, 'But in low place Not in high place.'
Alive without breath, As cold as death; Never thirsty, ever drinking, All in mail never clinking

Thirty white horses on a red hill, First they champ, Then they stamp, Then they stand still.
A box without hinges, key or lid, Yet golden treasure inside is hid.
Voiceless it cries, Wingless flutters, Toothless bites, Mouthless mutters
what have I got in my pocket?
