No. 2.

ENIGMA.

My first is in empty, but not in full.
My second is in rope, but not in pull.
My third is in light, but not in dark.
My fourth is in silent, but not in hark.
My fifth is in drop, but not in fall.
My sixth is in high, but not in tall.
My seventh is in stool, but not in chair.
My eighth is in mend, but not in tear.
My ninth is in circle, but not in ring.
My whole is a new and wonderful thing.
