Winter All Over

Love's Labour's Lost, Act V, Scene 2 [Winter]  by William Shakespeare   When icicles hang by the wall    And Dick the shepherd blows his nail And Tom bears logs into the hall    And milk comes frozen home in pail, When blood is nipp'd and ways be foul, Then nightly sings the staring owl,                         Tu-whit; Tu-who, a merry note, While greasy Joan doth keel the pot. When all aloud the wind doth blow    And coughing drowns the parson's saw And birds sit brooding in the snow    And Marian's nose looks red and raw, When roasted crabs hiss in the bowl, Then nightly sings the staring owl,                         Tu-whit; Tu-who, a merry note, While greasy Joan doth keel the pot.
