My precious knows! Gollum! Gollum!
Gollum poses this riddle to Bilbo Baggins in The Hobbit. The rhyme is extended in The Two Towers to include the answer:
Alive without breath;
as cold as death;
never thirsting, ever drinking;
clad in mail, never clinking.
Drowns on dry land,
thinks an island
is a mountain;
thinks a fountain
is a puff of air.
So sleek, so fair!
What a joy to meet!
We only wish
to catch a fish,
so juicy-sweet!
