(Frost)

You'll find me in the morning

And also late at night,

You need warm clothes when I'm about

So wrap up snug and tight,

I make patterns on your window,

I turn the grass white, too,

Now read the first two lines again

And then you'll have a clue.

(Frost)

What lives in winter,

Dies in summer,

And grows with its root upwards?

(Icicle)

You spread this on cake.

It is something you eat.

It begins with an I.

Taste it – it's sweet!

(Icing)

Fire won't burn me,

Water won't drown me

Wherever I am it's cold all around me.

(Ice)

I am something

That makes everything visible,

But am myself unseen.

(Light)

What can fill a room

But takes up no space.

(Light)

It's up in the sky

With the stars, shining bright.

The first letter is M,

And it lights up the night.

(Moon)

Nearly bright as the sun,

Sometimes dark as space.

Like a pearl on black velvet,

With diamonds twinkling in a case.

(Moon)

My face is pale, and full and fair,

And round it beauty spots there are,

By day, indeed, I seem less bright,

I'm only seen sometimes at night.

And when the sun has gone to bed

I then begin to show my head.

(Moon)

What has rits as nobody sees,

Is taller than trees,

Up, up it goes,

And yet never grows?

(Mountain)

Stronger than steel,

And older than time,

They are more patient than death

And shall stand even when the stars have ceased to shine.

Their strength is embedded

In riits buried deep

Where the sands and frosts of ages

Can never hope to touch or reach.

(Mountains)

I am something that comes with a train,

Goes with a train,

Is of no use to the train,

And yet the train can't go without me.

(Noise)

Through wind and rain I always play,

I roam the earth, yet here I stay,

I crumble stones, and fire cannot burn me,

Yet I am soft you can gauge me with your hand.

(Ocean)

Runs all day and never walks

Often murmurs, never talks.

It has a bed, but never sleeps?

It has a mouth but never eats.

(River)

I don't have feet

To skip or hop,

Yet I can run

And never stop.

(River)

Violet, indigo, blue and green,

Yellow, orange and red,

These are the colours you have seen

After the storm has fled.

(Rainbow)

Up high the ribbons descend,

Forming a colorful blend.

(Rainbow)

You'll find I'm very bright

And pretty too, they say,

But you cannot see me

Until dark clouds roll away,

And then I shall appear

When the sun peeps through again,

A bow to brighten up your day

As sunshine follows rain.

(Rainbow)

What is the thing which,

Once poured out,

Cannot be gathered again?

(Rain)

Me riddle, me racket,

Suppose I tell you this riddle,

And perhaps not,

There is something moves all day

And all night and never stops.

(Sea)

I stretch as far as you can see,

Sometimes I'm out when you want me,

I'm in and out every day,

And when I'm in you'll laugh and play.

(Sea)

In bright sunshine,

I'm always here.

But turn off the lights

And I disappear.

(Shadow)

I am something

That has form and size

And can bee seen,

Yet I cannot be felt,

And I neither substance

Nor weight.

(Shadow)

There is thing that nothing is,

And yet it has a name:

It's sometimes tall

And sometimes short,

It tumbles if we fall.

It joins our sport,

And plays at every game.

(Shadow)

The part of the bird

That's not in the sky,

Who can swim in the ocean

And yet remain dry.

(Shadow)

Each morning I appear

To lie at your feet,

All day I follow

No matter how fast you run,

Yet I nearly perish

In the midday sun.
