Riddles in the
Dark
Riddle 1: What has roots as nobody sees, Is taller
than trees, Up, up it goes, And yet never grows?
Riddle 2: Thirty white horses on a red hill, First they
champ, Then they stamp, Then they stand still.
Riddle 3: Voiceless it cries, Wingless flutters,
Toothless bites, Mouthless mutters.
Riddle 4: 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."
Riddle 5: 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.
Riddle 6: A box without hinges, key or lid, Yet golden
treasure inside is hid.
Riddle 7: Alive without breath, As cold as death; Never
thirsty, ever drinking, All in mail never clinking.
Riddle 8: No-legs lay on one-leg, two legs sat near on
three-legs, four-legs got some.
Riddle 9: 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.
Riddle 10: What have I got in my pocket?
