Quest: The Riddle-game

Description: Bilbo has asked you to help out in a riddle-game he is playing with Lindir:

I often hold your hand,
But I have no hands wherewith to hold.
I often sleep in summer,
But I do my best when it grows cold.
I often lose my mate,
But I feel no sorrow, if truth be told.

'Hello there, friend (your race). I wonder if you can help out an old hobbit who is not as spry as he used to be? Lindir and I are playing a friendly riddle-game. Here is his latest:

'I often hold your hand,
But I have no hands wherewith to hold.
I often sleep in summer,
But I do my best when it grows cold.
I often lose my mate,
But I feel no sorrow, if truth be told.

'If truth be told, I'm quite stumped! Speak to Lindir about it -- it could be he has forgotten an important line or two.'
