Blow* blow* thou winter wind
Thou art not so unkind
As man's ingratitude;
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 freindship if feigning* most loving mere folly:
Then heigh-ho* the holly!
This life is most jolly.
Freeze* freeze thou bitter sky
That does not bite so nigh
As benefits forgot:
Though thou the waters warp
Thy sting is not so sharp
As a friend remembered not.
Heigh-ho! sing* heigh-ho! unto the green holly:
Most freindship if feigning* most loving mere folly:
Then heigh-ho* the holly!
This life is most jolly.
William Shakespeare
