Songtexte When Icicles Hang: IV. Blow, Blow, Thou Winter Wind - City of London Sinfonia , John Rutter , The Cambridge Singers , Wayne Marshall




Blow, blow thou winter wind,
Blow, blow thou winter wind,
Thou art not so unkind,
As man's ingratitude,
As man's ingratitude,
Thy tooth is not so keen,
Because thou art not seen,
Although thy breath be rude,
Although thy breath be rude,
Heigh-ho! Sing heigh-ho! unto the green holly;
Most friendship is feinging, most loving mere folly:
Then heigh-ho, the holly! This life is most jolly.
Freeze, freeze thou bitter sky,
Freeze, freeze thou bitter sky,
That does not bite so nigh
As benefits forgot,
As benefits forgot,
Thou the waters warp,
Thou sting is not so sharp
As friend remembered not
As friend remembered not
Heigh-ho! Sing heigh-ho! unto the green holly;
Most friendship is feinging, most loving mere folly:
Then heigh-ho, the holly! This life is most jolly.
