FIDDLE, flute, and horn uniting, To the idol-dance inviting -- Round the golden calf with springing All of Jacob's daughters come -- Brum -- brum -- brum -- Kettle drums and laughter ringing! Girding up their tunics lightly, Clasping hands together tightly, Noble maidens, off'rings bringing, Twist, like whirlwinds at the least, Round the beast -- Kettle drums and laughter ringing! Aaron's self joins in the mazy Circling dance with motions crazy; His concerns not looking after, Skips he, in his high-priest's coat, Like a goat -- Kettle drums and ringing laughter! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...WILLOW POEM by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS THE POET AND THE BABY by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR THE PROBLEM by RALPH WALDO EMERSON SNOW IN THE SUBURBS by THOMAS HARDY THE RUBAIYAT, 1879 EDITION: 15 by OMAR KHAYYAM LOVE-LILY by DANTE GABRIEL ROSSETTI THE BIRDS: THE HOOPOE'S CALL TO HIS WIFE PROCNE, THE NIGHTINGALE by ARISTOPHANES |
