The Christmas Carol
"The Christmas Carol" by William Wordsworth captures a winter night when minstrels play beneath a moonlit cottage, their music cutting through the freezing air to honour every household by name. The poem moves from the bright dazzle of laurel leaves under moonlight to the hush of snow-muffled winds at midnight, weaving together communal joy and quiet sorrow — unbidden tears for names once heard and heard no more — into a meditation on the fragile beauty of old festive traditions.
