Large is my head; within, the parts are small. I have one foot, but it is very tall. I give sleep, though I do not sleep at all.

The gander's foot resembles mine, I agree; and yet, not two but many here you see. All laid out flat, I carry them with me.

All crushed was I between the stones before, so sorely pounded, scarce I could pour. And now my size is less, but my abundance more.

With great strength, I grind everything at once. I have one neck but two heads that I bind together, and I use my head as feet.

A mighty tooth am I, 'neath the Eastern skies. Through other lands, in many shapes I rise. No strength remains, but still my charms they prize.

I was once a green herb in a grassy glade; when soft, laid low beneath an iron blade, and then aloft with many kindred laid.
