1. Not a well of leather, its bucket of wood
Nor its water from stubborn, unyielding rock

2. That rock, when it rises
Waters a soft, gushing spring

3. Its daughter dearer than mother or father
The best of hopes, the most beloved

4. It's before you, perceive it clearly
Solve this riddle wrought by the art of rhetoric

5. Don't let your night pass without thinking, friend
Unlock this word by morning's end
