華茲華斯是“湖畔詩人”的領袖，他的小詩清新,長詩清新而又深刻，一反新古典主義平板、典雅的風格，開創了新鮮活潑的浪漫主義詩風。下面是華茲華斯關於聖誕節的一首英語詩歌，歡迎閱讀！
the minstrels 吟遊詩人
----william wordsworth
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 overpowered their natural green.
吟遊詩人哼着他們的聖誕節曲調，
今夜，在我的田舍小屋下。
此時，高聳的月亮給予他們靈感。
層層的月桂樹，覆蓋着葉子，
映射着飽滿眩目的.光澤，
早已經超越了他們原有的顏色。
through hill and valley every breeze
had sunk to rest with folded wings:
keen was the air, but could not freeze,
nor check, the music of the strings;
so stout and hardy were the band
that scraped the chords with strenuous hand.
穿過山谷的每一陣微風下沉收起翅膀：
風是那麼鋒利，但永不冷漠，
也不覈對，絃音聲聲：
一層層又如此的強烈剛強，
用熱烈的手摩擦着弦柱。
and who but listened?--till was paid
respect to every inmate's claim,
the greeting given, the music played
in honour of each household name,
duly pronounced with lusty call,
但是誰在聽?這個取決於同住的人的主張，
給個問候，做個音樂，爲每個家裏名字而自豪，
正式而顯著的強有力的呼叫，
聖誕快樂哦~祝所有人!
