The Riddle
       
      I see not the butterfly nor yet the bee,
      Yet sister and brother see I through the tree.
      I fear not the tines that keep guard by the door;
      They open two yet they rule over four.
      About me the cauldron of sides round and strong,
      With murmering lullaby tender and long.
      Therein are the twinborn of silver and gold;
      Ere I lie down to sleep they my strength will uphold.
