 {{LinkText|Blow, blow thou winter wind}}
-:Blow, blow thou winter wind,
-:Thou art not so unkind
-:As man's ingratitude;
-:Thy tooth is not so keen
-:[Because]{{sup|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.
