Winter-When Icicles Hang By The Wall (Love's Labour's Lost) |
When icicles hang by the wall |
And Dick the shepherd blows his nail |
And Tom bears logs into the hall |
And milk comes frozen home in pail; |
When blood is nipt and ways be foul |
Then nightly sings the staring owl: |
Tu-who! |
Tu-whit! |
Tu-who! |
-- A merry note! |
While greasy Joan doth keel the pot |
When all aloud the wind doth blow |
And coughing drowns the parson’s saw |
And birds sit brooding in the snow |
And Marian’s nose looks red and raw; |
When roasted crabs hiss in the bowl |
Then nightly sings the staring owl: |
Tu-who! |
Tu-whit! |
Tu-who! |
-- A merry note! |
While greasy Joan doth keel the pot |
