- (continued from previous page)Niddy noddy round body
Three feet and a wooden head
(A Pot)Round the house and round the house But never gets into the house
(An Egg)Red and white and emerald green
The king could not touch it no more than a queen
(A Rainbow)Round the wood and round the wood
But never gets into the wood
(The bark of a tree)What goes round the house and round the house
And always stands at the door
(A Twig)Sin é ag teacht tré an reilg
Fear gan léana fear gan fios
Fear na cosa caoile cruaidhte
Sé mo léan é bheith gan rith
(Bás)
