- Janie Colgan Edmonton N.S. KillucanDeep down in the earth is the place of my birth
I am as black as the night but your home I make bright
When I burst into flame who will tell me my name
Answer: CoalI lie on the ground like a sheet
When the sun shines, I fly away
what am I?
Answer: SnowI have a knife of ivory
It is bound all round with misery
It would bind a bull and kill a bear
And snare a black bird in the air
Answer: HungerA house full and a room full
And you couldn't pick a spoonful
