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 remember’d not

Heigh-ho! sing, &c
