A sunshiny riddle:
Bone of stone,
Marrow of wood.
Stands alone,
Never understood.
Forever atone,
Under the hood.
Crime condone,
On sin brood.

Bone of stone, marrow of wood.
It's built of soapstone and concrete. Concrete would have required wood formwork.
Stands alone, never understood.
It certainly stands alone on its mountain, and you can stand next to it but not actually under it.
Forever atone, under the hood.
Atonement is a religious reference. The hair on the statue looks like a hood at first glance.
Crime condone, on sin brood.

And it’s a sunshiny riddle because:
Sunshine is an album by the band RIO
