Tomhaiseanna

I have a little Kerry cow lying by the wall
She would eat all she’d get and drink none at all?
(A fire)

Jenny white petticoat she has a red nose
The longer she lives the shorter she grows?
(A candle)
Within and abroad and under the roof of the house?
(A window)
What is it that has four legs and one foot?
(A bed)
What is it the more you take the more you leave behind? (Your footsteps)

I went to the wood and I got it. I sat down and I saw and against my will I brought it?
