- Riddle me, riddle me ranty row
My father gave me some seed to sow
The seed began to grow
Like a garden full of snow
Ths snow began to melt
Like a man without his health
And the man began to fall
As a bird against the wall
The bird began to fly
Like an eagle in the sky
The sky began to rattle
Like a thundring field of battle
And blood began to spill
Like the lashing of the mill
And the mill began to stop
Like the spinning of a top
And the top began to fall
And the Lord save us allAnswer - A person writing a letter
