Riddle 2
This mother of many well-known creatures
Is strangely born. Savage and fierce,
She roars and sings, courses and flows,
Follows the ground. A beautiful mover,
No one knows how to catch her shape
And power in song, or how to mark
The strength of her kin in myriad forms:
Her lineage sings the spawn of creation.
The high father broods over one flow,
Beginning and end, and so does his son,
Born of glory, and the heavenly spirit,
The ghost of God. His precious skill
* * *
All kinds of creatures who lived on the earth
When the garden was graced with beauty and joy.
Their mother is always mighty
Sustained in glory, teeming with power,
Plenty, a feast of being, a natural hoard
For rich and poor. Her power increases
Her manifest song. Her body is a burbling
Jewel of use, a celibate gem with a quick,
Cleansing power—beautiful, bountiful,
Noble and good. She is boldest, strongest,
Greediest, greatest of all earth-travelers
Spawned under the sky, of creatures seen
With the eyes of men. She is the weaver
Of world-children’s might.
A wise man
May know of many miracles-this one
Is harder than ground, smarter than men.
Older than counsel, more gracious than giving,
Dearer than gold. She washes the world
In beautiful tones, teems with children,
Soothes hard suffering, crushes crime.
Riddle 3
Sometimes busy, bound by rings,
I must eagerly obey my servant,
Break my bed, clamor brightly
That my lord has given me a neck-ring
Sleep-weary I wait for the grim-hearted
Greeting of a man or woman; I answer
Winter-cold. Sometimes a warm limb
Bursts the bound ring, pleasing my dull
Witted servant and myself. 1 sing round
The truth if 1 may in a ringing riddle.
Riddle 4
Power and treasure for a prince to hold
Hard and steep-cheeked, wrapped in red,
Gold and garnet, ripped from a plain
Of bright flowers, wrought – a remnant
Of fire and file, bound in stark beauty
With delicate wire, my grip makes
Warriors weep, my sting threatens
The hand that grasps gold. Studded
With a ring. I ravage heir and heirloom
* * *
To my lord and foes always lovely
And deadly, altering face and form.
Riddle 5.
On earth this warrior is strangely born
Of two dumb creatures, drawn gleaming
Into the world, bright and useful to men
It is tended, kept, covered by women –
Strong and savage, it serves well,
A gentle slave to firm masters
Who mind its measure and feed it fairly
With a careful hand. To these it brings
Warm blessings; to those who let it run
Wild it brings a grim reward.
Riddle 6.
The culminant lord of victories. Crist
Created me for battle. Often I burn
Countless living creatures on middle-earth,
Treat them to terror though I touch them not
When my lord rouses me to wage war.
Sometimes I lighten the minds of many,
Sometimes I comfort those I fought fiercely
Before. They feel this high blessing
As they felt that burning, when over the surge
And sorrow, I again grace their going.
Riddle 7
A strange creature ran on a rippling road,
Its cut was wild, its body bowed ,
Four feet under belly, eight on its back,
Two wings, twelve eyes, six heads, one track.
It cruised the waves decked out like a bird,
But was more - the shape of a horse, man,
Dog, bird, and the face of a woman –
Weird riddle-craft riding the drift of words –
Now sing the solution to what you've heard.
