Answer:
What is that which, though black itself, enlightens the world without burning?
What has two hands, a round face, always runs, but stays in place?
A mile from end to end, yet as close to as a friend. A precious commodity, freely given. Seen on the dead and on the living. Found on the rich, poor, short and tall, but shared among children most of all.
Do you know what you can hold without ever touching it?
My first master has four legs, my second master has two. My first I serve in life, my second I serve in death. Tough I am, yet soft beside. Against ladies cheeks I often reside.
Iām grown from darkness but shine with a pale light. Very round I am and always a lady's delight.
