Time Riddle
Type: Songs & Stories
Description:“Then he thought the time had come to ask something hard and horrible. This is what he said:
This thing all things devours:“Time! Time!”
Birds, beasts, trees, flowers;
Gnaws iron, bites steel;
Grinds hard stones to meal;
Slays king, ruins town,
And beats high mountain down.”
