Charles Hubert Hastings Parry - When icicles hang by the wall - текст песни (слова)

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 nipt and ways be foul, 
 Then nightly sings the staring owl 
 Tuwhoo! Tuwhit! Tuwhoo! 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 
 Tuwhoo! Tuwhit! Tuwhoo! A merry note! 
 While greasy Joan doth keel the pot.
