Before you are on with the new.

The holly and the ivy,
When they are both full grown,
Of all the trees that are in the wood,
The holly bears the crown:
The rising of the sun
And the running of the deer,
The playing of the merry organ,
Sweet singing in the choir.

A pocket full of rye,
Four and twenty blackbirds,
Baked in a pie;
When the pie was opened,
The birds began to sing;
Wasn't that a dainty dish To set before a king?
The king was in his countinghouse Counting out his money;
The queen was in the parlor Eating bread and honey;
The maid was in the garden Hanging out the clothes,
Along came a blackbird,
And snipped off her nose.

They all ran after the farmer's wife,
She cut off their tails with a carving knife,
Did you ever see such a sight in your life,
As three blind mice?
