Gentle Thing
This is an old Italian riddle from 1300-1900 AD.
In a flowering meadow of green,
A lovely gentle thing is seen;
Gorgeous are its robes to view,
Bright with yellow, green, and blue.
It wears upon its head a crown,
And proudly paces up and down;
Its splendid train it raises high,
And seeks its love with jealous cry;
But gazing at its feet below,
It shrieks aloud for shame and woe.
