Old English riddle

  by Anonymous

   My dress is silent when I tread the ground

   Or stay at home or stir upon the waters.

   Sometimes my trappings and the lofty air

   Raise me above the dwelling-place of men,

   And then the power of clouds carries me far

   Above the people; and my ornaments

   Loudly resound, send forth a melody

   And clearly sing, when I am not in touch

   With earth or water, but a flying spirit
