Can you identify the hidden rebus in the image below?

A man embarked on a questionnaire game. He kept asking the same question to whomever he found. The answer each time was different.

Can you guess what the question was?

What brings you down but never up?

Make a sentence consisting of three words that have the whole alphabet.

It comprises roots which nobody sees,
Much taller than those trees,
Up and up it goes,
Still it never grows?

These types of puzzles are known as charades. What you have to do is to find two words that are referred to in the first stanza and the second stanza and put them together to form the third word in the third stanza.

Just for example, if my first refers to 'off' and my second refers to 'ice', then my whole will be the 'office'.

My first is present - future's past -
A time in which your lot is cast.

My second is my first of space
Defining people's present place.

My whole describes a lack of site -
A place without length, breadth, or height.
