Excerpt from The Poetical Works of William Wordsworth, Vol. 4 of 6
The Minstrels played their Christmas tune
To-night beneath my cottage-eaves;
While, smitten by a lofty moon,
The encircling laurels, thick with leaves,
Gave back a rich and dazzling sheen,
That overpouered their natural green.
Through hill ana valley every breeze
Had sunk to rest with folded wings
Keen uas the air, but could not frreze,
Nor check the music of the strings;
So stout and hardy uere the band
That scraped the chords with strenuous hand!
