See if you can figure this out:

That a voiceless creature spoke charmed

Words, chanted praise, prayer-song

Wise and wonderful it seemed to me

* * *

It speaks without mouth, moves without feet

* * *

Saying, "I am now teacher of men,

Preacher to many on middle-earth--

I will live as long as men walk the land."

Wound with silver and plated gold,

I have seen it open where men sit

Drinking together. Now a wise man

Should know what this creature is called.

O.O... my wild guess would be a .... shadow

**Z3R0** · 03-08-2006, 02:04 PM

A clever guess but that is not correct. >8) try again

Here's another:

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.

I am not sure of the first one, but I was looking at the second one and I saw:

This made me think of a sword (melded together using fire and then shaped using file, warriors use a sword, and it can be used to get what you want, such as gold); am i correct?

Is the answer to the first one music/song?

I think the answer to the second one is time

You are correct in your assumption. The second one is a sword. Reread over the first one and look for clues.

Additional Comment:
Here is another if the solution to the first riddle evades you:

Gazing in a hall at a golden ring.
Who turned the ring prayed to God
For abiding peace, the hall guests'
Grace. The bright circle of gold
Spoke the name of the savior of good
Men to the gathering, proclaimed to the eye
And mind of man the most glorious token,
Spoke though dumb of the suffering king
To all who could see in its bodied wounds
The hard carving of Christ. An unfulfilled
Prayer has no power in heaven; the dark
Soul will not find the city of saints,
The throne of power, the camp of God.
Let the man who knows how the wounds
Of the strange ring spoke as it passed round
The hall-twisting, turning in the hands
Of proud men---explain the riddle

the first one seems to be around religion in a way but im not getting a answer or atleast cant think of a good one

**Z3R0** · 03-09-2006, 03:43 PM

>8) yes it is religously based. It is really quite simple, look for clues.

**Venom** · 03-09-2006, 07:56 PM

No, it is not an angel. Try again.
