Heigh Ho, The Holly!
by William Shakespeare
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;
ost 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 heigh ho, unto the green holly:
ost
friendship is feigning, most loving mere folly:
Then, heigh ho, the
holly!
This life is most jolly.
