Blow, Blow, Thou Winter Wind

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,
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.
Most friendship is feigning, most loving mere folly.
Then, heigh-ho, the holly.
   This life is most jolly.
