Anglo-Saxon Riddles of the Exeter Book/Annotated/36
36 (k-d 81)
| I have a puffed-out breast and a swollen neck; I have a head and a tall tail; I have eyes and ears and a single foot, a rough hard bill and a long neck and two sides; hollow in the middle. My home is over men. I suffer much whenever he moves me who stirs the forest, and rains and hard hail beat on me as I stand, and frost freezes and snow falls on me, hollow-bellied . . . . |
