Riddle
Riddles are little poems or phrases that pose a question that needs answering. Riddles frequently rhyme, but this is not a requirement.Riddle
From the souls and hearts of mortal man,
Made spontaneous or planned;
Given life by breath or limb
From finger tip to glasses' rim.
To each their own style of it,
The birds' chatter or fox's chit;
A gift, divine, by any standard
A guide to life, by some t'was branded.
Used in churches or in homes,
Written inside books or tomes.
Falling, soaring, it twists and writhes,
Bandages or poisoned knives.
Hark! It marches out to war,
Then leaves you coming back for more,
As angels give it grace and life,
Whilst some may help it wreak their strife.
Sold for money or for joy,
Given as a form of toy.
Pray, tell me, am I famed?
What have I so been named?

Answer
Music.From the plucking of a string, to the touching of a crystal goblet's rim. Birds chatter away with their lovely (or not so lovely as the case may be) songs, daily, while foxes too add to the music of the wild.
Some people use music to help them in times of trouble, for example.
Music falls in pitch, but at the same time can rise, it can also bring emotional pain or comfort. There are also war songs.
