- Black I am and much admired, men sought me until they were tired, they broke my nose and smashed my face weary horse and weary man tell me this if you can!
Ans Stack of turf.I see it and you don't see it although it is nearer to you than to me.
Ans The "back of your head"I have a little girl she lives in the sky every time I look up she tickles my eye.
Ans The Sun.Going all day and never earns a penny!
Ans The Clock.Contributed by Maire Dillon
