Blow, blow thou winter wind

Blow, blow thou winter wind,
Thou art not so unkind
As man’s ingratitude;
Thy tooth is not so keen
Although 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,
Thou 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, heigh ho! the holly!
This life is most jolly.

Devil bird in Sri Lanka In Sri Lankan folklore , the Devil Bird or Ulama is a creature said to emit bloodcurdling human-sounding shrieks in jungles at night.

white eye

Taxonomy A study showed that it is not sister to the other Sri Lankan species, the Indian White-eye ( Zosterops palpebrosus ), and it also suggested that it is the root species which gave rise to all white-eyes on Earth. [2] This raises further questions on white-eye origins. Description Comparison with Indian white-eye (above) This bird is slightly larger than the Indian white-eye (about 11 cm long) which it replaces above 4000 ft. The upper parts of the body and sides of neck are dark olive-green. The rump appears paler green while the crown and forehead appear darker. The wings and tail are brown edged with green on the back.

The chin, throat and upper breast are greenish-yellow as are the thighs and vent. The belly region is greyish white. The dark bill has a slaty base to the lower mandible . The legs ar...
