Blow thou winter wind

>> Friday, December 5, 2008


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 remember’d not.

From As You Like It
by William Shakespeare

Wonderful!! Man, I wish I could play like that. Seven years of piano lessons and nothing. It just didn't "take".

I love my boy Bryn singing a version of this song. I forget which album it's on. Maybe "Silent Noon"?
