| 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 friendship is feigning, most loving mere folly:
|
| Then, heigh-ho! |
| the holly!
|
| This life is most jolly
|
| Freeze, freeze, thou bitter sky
|
| Thou dost not bite so nigh
|
| As benefits forgot:
|
| Though thou the waters warp
|
| Thy sting is not so sharp
|
| As friend remember’d not
|
| Heigh-ho! |
| sing heigh-ho! |
| unto the green holly:
|
| Most friendship is feigning, most loving mere folly:
|
| Then, heigh-ho! |
| the holly!
|
| This life is most jolly |
