watsons_woes.
I am getting some ideas for these from the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Christmas is Coming!. They have paired this of Shakespeare with a detail of Louis John Rhead's Scribner art on the opposite page and it's a striking combination
Blow, blow, thou winter wind by William Shakespeare [from As You Like It]
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:
Then, 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 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.
And "The Holly & the Ivy" has to be one of my favourite songs. So pretty and haunting.
And lastly, SUGA's family's dog is named Holly (spelled Holy but pronounced Holly so that's how I write it) and I have a ficlet collection (now on it's 3rd year) of all the Xmas fun Holly gets up to.
