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:
Most freindship if feigning, most loving mere folly:
Then heigh-ho, the holly!
This life is most jolly.
Freeze, freeze thou bitter sky,
That does not bite so nigh
As benefits forgot:
Though thou the waters warp,
Thy sting is not so sharp
As a friend remembered 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.
William Shakespeare

Hello, pretty poem. It is one of Shakespeare's I am not familiar with. Thanks for sharing, happy weekend!
Love this poem. Thanks.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! Love Shakespeare's poetry.
I've always loved this. Shakespeare didn't have all the answers. He just saw the way things were.
I had not heard this one before..
