'Tis a string that fires no bolts;
'Tis a string shooting no arrows.
'Tis a string that makes no tune;
'Tis a string patching no holes.

'Tis a string that expects no answer;
'Tis a string that is always straight.
'Tis a string that covers nothing;
'Tis a string that holds little weight.

'Tis a problem that you cannot solve?

No. Try.

(In reply to re: An answer by Richard)

I just don't understand how the string L-I-N-E or the string S-T-A-I-G-H-T, fits the clue:  " 'Tis a string that holds little weight".  As this sentence implies that it holds weight, ie. a little weight.  But the strings you have suggested hold no weight at all.
