FIVE RHYMING RIDDLES

1)
You can hear it speak, for it has a hard tongue.
But it cannot breathe, for it has not a lung.

2)
Dead on the field lie ten soldiers in white,
Felled by Three-Eyes, black as night.

3)
Farthest North or deepest South,
I can speak without a mouth.

4)
No larger than a biscuit, no deeper than a cup,
Even a river can't fill it up.

5)
In sickness, sorrow, and strength,
But not in health, joy, or length;
In the sun and darkness too,
But not in light or morning dew.

Answers:
1. A bell
2. A strike in bowling
3. An echo
4. A sieve
5. The letter "s"
