English text
- Blow, blow thou winter wind,
- Thou art not so unkind
- As man's ingratitude;
- Thy tooth is not so keen
- [ Because ]1 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,
- Thou 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:
- Most friendship is feigning,
- most loving mere folly
- Then, heigh ho! the holly!
- This life is most jolly.
