A Harp it is, unfortunately is spelt the same now as was then lol ;o)) full riddle reads This creature is odd, its habits unaccountable. It sings through its sides. Its neck is curved, skilfully carved, and above its back it has pointed shoulders. It plays its fated part as, gracefully, it stands by the roadside, high and handsome, useful to men. |

I hope that Dave B gone to bed. It will give someone else a chance to answer this riddle I'm told a certain something grows in its pouch, swells and stands up, lifts its covering. A proud bride grasped that boneless wonder, the daughter of a king covered that swollen thing with clothing. What is it? |

I'm back again with another one, see if we can get a few more people involved before Dave B gives us the answer What am I? My attire is noiseless when I tread the earth Rest in its dwellings or ride its waters... |

no takers how about another clue? My attire is noiseless when I tread the earth Rest in its dwellings or ride its waters At times my pinions and the lofty air, Lift me high o'er the homes of men, |

on the right track My attire is noiseless when I tread the earth, Rest in its dwellings or ride its waters. At times my pinions and the lofty air, Lift me high o'er the homes of men, And the strength of the clouds carries me far High over the folk. My feathers gay Sound and make music, singing shrill, When no longer I linger by field or flood, But soar in the air, a wandering spirit. |
