First Line: In marble walls as white as milk
Last Line: Yet thieves break in and steal the gold
Subject(s): Riddles
IN marble walls as white as milk,
Lined with a skin as soft as silk,
Within a fountain crystal-clear,
A golden apple doth appear.
No doors there are to this stronghold,
Yet thieves break in and steal the gold.
