Now sing we of the fairest maid,
With gold upon her toe,
And open up the western door 
To let the old year go.
	For we have brought fresh holly
	All from the grove so near,
	To wish you and your company 
	A joyful, healthy year.

Now sing we of the fairest maid,
With gold upon her chin,
And open up the eastern door
To let the new year in.
	For we have brought fresh ivy
	All from the grove so near,
	To wish you and your company
	A joyful, healthy year.
