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 friendship is feigning, most loving mere folly.

The, heigh-ho, the holly!

This life is most jolly.

 

Freeze, freeze, thou bitter sky,

That 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, g\heigh-ho, the holly!

This life is most jolly.

 

不懼東風凜冽，

風威遠難遽及人世之寡情；

其為氣也雖厲，

其牙尚非甚銳，

風體本無形。

 

 

噫嘻乎! 且向冬青歌一曲：

友交皆虛妄，恩愛痴人逐。

噫嘻乎冬青！

可樂唯此生。

 

不愁沍天冰雪，

其寒尚難遽及，

受施而忘恩；

風皺滿池碧水，

利剌尚難遽比捐舊之友人。

 

 

噫嘻乎！且向冬青歌一曲：

友交皆虛妄，恩愛痴人逐。

噫嘻乎冬青！

可樂唯此生。
