Question

How sweetly I can sing

When talent joy doth bring,

And also mark the part

To show your love of art

My anger can help pierce

I aid the cold and fierce,

We sought and found new places

I went first in all those cases

Yet my fondest, first success

Is those who love you to impress.

I think you are just far more intelligent then the rest of us!

i assure you that is not the case, it is easier to hide an answer then it is to find it

what discovered new places

how do you show you love art

what sings sweetly

who loves you

what is cold and fierce

all these are questions to ask yourself to solve parts and then see the whole...

Well?

Tears

nope

look at the part that talks about discovery and seeking new places and going first for example, or impressing those who love you as a success (and a first success at that)

doesn't fit with the answer you propose

Oh man, this is insane. I'm going to be so relieved when someone finds out the answer.

I don't understand your clues- they're making me more confused!

You ask, who loves you, and what is cold and fierce, and many others...but how can something be a who and a what at the same time?

And if is tangible...that just makes it more confusing!

Because the only things that seem to make sense are intangible.

don't worry, someone will find the answer soon

the questions I asked you to ask are clues to the answer not necessarily the answer

all I'm saying is that you should treat the couplets as little riddles

and if you solve one correctly you will have solved them all

so for example if you are solving the who loves you part you need to think

to get the answer i must consider who loves me, would be impressed, by some first success? and what could such success then be

or you are solving the cold and fierce, what could such words describe, and what we are looking for aids it, and in anger

and so on

it will always be a WHAT you get to as answer not WHO - and that's yet another clue

when someone gets the answer or I post it in the unlikely case no one gets it, you will like the riddle, i think

and you will think it easy

so until tomorrow

xo

the tongue

you are using the right sort of logic to read the riddle, but that is not the answer (some parts would be a stretch to explain with your answer, like seeking and finding new places, marking the place to show the love of art)

still a great, well thought out possibility

look at also the title of the topic - it tells you something about the nature of the answer...

also look at the first two lines, if not your answer, what else could sweetly sing when talent is present?

time to solve this i think

so will start dropping clues like crazy :D

finding solutions to parts of riddle will give us the answer to the whole riddle

starting with the first couplet

How sweetly I can sing

When talent joy doth bring,

answer this for me:

if not voice, tongue, words (guesses we had), what else can make sweet song or sound if talent is present?

I've only thought of birds with this, In fact. I couldn't solve your riddle because I didn't see what all my answers had in common. So I'll post for you all the answers I got from your riddle, and you see what you think of my interpretations. : )

hang on this is good, but if not our voice and if not birds what else can make sweet sound? the obvious answer. an object of some kind perhaps? that we need talent to utilize? how is no one thinking of this...

How sweetly I can sing

When talent joy doth bring, birds(instrument?)

And also mark the part

To show your love of art paint/canvas

My anger can help pierce

I aid the cold and fierce, Ice/storm

We sought and found new places

I went first in all those cases Migration

Yet my fondest, first success

Is those who love you to impress. performance

This is why I can't answer it. I don't see the connections.

are you thinking of something as general as an instrument?

because none of the guesses is correct or relates to one another...

it might have worked better if you gave multiple answers for each and then looked for possibilities of a match

so back to the first couplet and my question

if not voice, if not bird, what else can make a sweet sound if talent is present to make it do that? very very simple association.

I know they're not correct. That's why I haven't tried to answer it.

Anyway, I think gubdude and I have your answer. Now for the next?
