Lyrics: William Shakespeare

Blow, blow thou wintry 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.
