Sees Without Eyes
This is an old British riddle from 1300-1900 AD.
A certaine thing liveth in a place near at hande,
Whose nature is straunge, if it bee well scand:
It sees without eyes, it flyes without winges,
It runnes without feete, it workes wondrous things.
To places far distant it often doth rome:
Yet never departeth, but taryes at home.
If thou doe it covet to feele or to see,
Thy labour is lost, for it may not bee.
