set in white, I fill with water and overflow. I say much, but I have no words. What am I?

I think this part is an Eye, as it will fill with water and overflow when you cry, and eyes can say so much without any words, and they of course are set in white.

The first part of the riddle fits with some of an eye, many colours, a window (on your soul/mind), clouded, but not sure about the others in the first part.

Close, but not quite.

I assume it has something to do with fingers or thumbs then.

A plaster cast? A thimble?

Those are the only other two things I can think of that you'd put on a finger.

In marble walls as white as milk,
Within a skin as soft as silk,
In a lake that's crystal clear,
A golden apple doth appear.
No doors there are to this stronghold,
Yet thieves break in and steal my gold.

What am I?

Correct! The answer is 'Man'. Who crawls on all fours as a baby, then walks on two feet as an adult, and then walks with a cane in old age.
