Alive without breath,
As cold as death;
Never thirsty, ever drinking,
All in mail never clinking.
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit
Alive without breath,
As cold as death;
Never thirsty, ever drinking,
All in mail never clinking.
An eye in a blue face
Saw an eye in a green face.
‘That eye is like to this eye’
Said the first eye,
‘But in low place
Not in high place.’
Old fat spider spinning in a tree!
Old fat spider can’t see me!
Attercop! Attercop!
Won’t you stop,
Stop your spinning and look for me!Old Tomnoddy, all big body,
Old Tomnoddy can’t spy me!
Attercop! Attercop!
Down you drop!
You’ll never catch me up your tree!
