When icicles hang by the wall,
And Dick the shepherd [blows his nail],
And Tom bears logs into the hall,
And milk comes frozen home in pail,
When blood is nipp’d, and [ways be foul],
Then nightly sings the [staring owl],
Tu-whit;
Tu-who—a merry note,
While greasy Joan doth [keel the pot].
When all aloud the wind doth blow,
