Poetry
21.7.22
Blow, Blow Thou Winter Wind
Blow, blow, thou winter winds
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.

______________________
Freeze, freeze, thou bitter sky!
Thou dost not bite so nigh
As benefits forgot
