THREE RHYMING RIDDLES

1)
The miser seeks me to increase his wealth,
The sick man prays me to restore his health.
The lover trusts me for his destined bride,
And so do all who have wishes beside.
The hope of all - who ever they be,
Be he peasant or prince - he'll never see me.

2)
No mouth, no eyes,
Nor yet a nose,
Two arms, two feet,
And as it goes,
The feet don't touch the ground,
But all the way,
The head runs round.

3)
Close in a cage, a bird I'll keep,
That sings both day and night,
When other birds are fast asleep,
Its notes yield sweet delight.

Answers:

1. Tomorrow
2. Wheelbarrow
3. Cuckoo clock
