mountains,

      Rusts metal,

      Pushes the clouds

      Across the sky,

      And can make a young man old?

      (Time)

      Mountains will crumble and temples will fall,

      And no man can survive its endless call.

      (Time)

      This thing all things devours:

      Bird, beast, trees, flowers,

      Gnaws iron, bites steel,

      Grinds hard stones to meal,

      Slays king, ruins town,

      And beats high mountain down.

      (Time)

      Fatherless and Motherless,

      Born without sin

      Roared when it came into the world,

      And never spoke again.

      (Thunder)

      Voiceless it cries,

      Wingless it flutters,

      Toothless bites,

      Mouthless mutters.

      (Wind)

      This stars with a W.

      I like it! It's wet!

      I splash in a tub of it.

      Look how clean I can get.

      (Water)

      I am something that can run

      But can't walk.

      (Water)

      Three lives have I.

      Gentle enough to soothe the skin,

      Light enough to caress the sky

      Hard enough to crack rocks.

      (Water)

      I run smoother than any rhyme,

      I love to fall but cannot climb.

      I tremble at each breath of air,

      And yet can heaviest burdens bear.

      (Water)

      Though it's close to toys eyes you'll have to admit

      You never get more than a gimpse of it.

      I tremble and shake at the least breath or breeze,

      Yet I can take as much weight as you please.

      (Water)

      The meadows are snowy,

      The forests are frosty,

      The north winds are gusty

      When does it happen?

      (Winter)

      Round as an apple,

      Deep as a cup,

      All the King's horses

      Can't pull it up.

      (Well)

      The first letter is an X.

      It's a picture of me.

      It's shows all my bones.

      For the doctor to see.

      (X ray)

      A tree has twelve branches

      With four nests each the same.

      Each nest has seven birds,

      And each bird has a name.

      (Year, month, weeks, and days)

      I am something

      That every living person has seen,

      But no one will ever see me again.

      (Yesterday)

      Человек

      If the rope is folded

      It reaches the well,

      Unfolded, it doesn't

      What is it, pray tell?

      (Arm and mouth)

      I am something that is lighter that a feather,

      And yet harder to hold.

      (Breath)

      The man who invent it, doesn't want it.

      The man who bought it, doesn't need it.

      The man who needs it, doesn't know it.

      (Coffin)

      We are a pair,

      We can dart here and there,

      Though we always stay in one place.

      We can smile or shed tears,

      Show our pleasure or fears,

      And you'll find us on everyone's face.

      (Eyes)

      I am a window,

      I am a lamp,

      I am clouded,

      I am shining,

      And I am coloured,

      Set in white,

      I fill with water and overflow.

      I say much,

      But I have no words.

      (Eye)

      I'm double, I'm single,

      I'm black, blue and grey,

      I'm read from both ends,

      And the same either way.

      (Eye)

      I am forever, and yet was never.

      (Eternity)

      White and thin,

      Red within,

      With a nail at the end.

      (Finger)

      I am something that is often

      Where I don't exist.

      (Fault)

      It's the part of your body

      You put into your shoe.

      It starts with an F,

      And we each have two.

      (Foot)

      My second is performed by my first,

      And, it is thought,

      A thief by the marks of my whole

      Might be caught.

      (Footstep)

      The more you take

      The more you leave behind.

      (Footsteps)

      In sand and in mud,

      I'm easy to find.

      You're always in front,

      I'm always behind.

      (Footprints)

      A father's child

      A mother's child

      Yet no one's son.

      (Girl)

      What have you that a pin has too?

      And no doubt about it

      You are both worse without it!

      (Head)

      Can not be bought,

      Can not be sold,

      Even if it's made of gold.

      (Heart)

      Tell
