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.
