Question

If you read good books then you should get these

Bonus Points for anyone who can tell me the book(s)

1. What has roots as nobody sees, Is taller than trees, Up, up it goes, And yet never grows?

2. Thirty white horses on a red hill First they champ, Than they stamp, Then they stand still.

3. Voiceless it cries, Wingless flutters, Toothless bites, Mouth less mutters.

4. An eye in a blue face saw an eye in a green face. " That eye is like to this eye" said the first eye, " But in low place not in high place"

5. It cannot be seen, cannot be felt, Cannon t be heard, cannot be smelt. It lies behind stars and under hills, and empty holes it fills. It comes first and fools after, Ends life, Kills laughter.

6. A box without hinges, keys, or lid, Yet golden treasure inside is hid.

7. Alive without breath, as cold as death; never thirsty, ever drinking, all in mail never clinking.

8.This thing all things devours: Birds, beast, trees, flowers; Gnaws iron, bites steel; Grinds hard stones to meal; slays kings, ruins town, and beats high mountains down.
