Write down the theme of the following poem. (Not more than 50 words):-
Blow, blow, thou winter wind,
Thou art not so unkind As man's ingratitude;
Thy tooth is not so keen,
Because thou art not seen, Although thy breath be rude,
Heigh-hol sing heigh-ho! unto the green holly: Most friendship is feigning, most loving mere folly
Then helgh-ho, the holly!
This life is most jolly.
Freeze, freeze, thou bitter sky,
That dost not bite so nigh As benefits forgot:
Though thou the waters warp,
Thy sting is not so sharp As friend remembered not.
Heigh-hol sing heigh-hol unto the green holly---.
