Blow, blow,thou winter wind, Thou are not so unkind As man's ingraditude: Thy tooth is not so keen, Because thou art not seen, Although thy breath be rude.
Heigh-ho! sing, heigh-ho: unto the green holly: Most friendship is feigning,most loving mere folly: Then, heigh-ho, the holly! This life most jolly.
Freeze, freeze, thou bitter sky, That dost not bite so nigh As benefits forgot: Though thou the waters warp, Thy sting is not so sharp As friend remembered not, Heigh-ho: sing, heigh-ho! unto the green holly
