Blow, Blow, Thou Winter Wind

[Pegham]

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



Shakespeare
