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...THE WAR THAT ISN'T WHAT YOU THINK by JAMES GALVIN SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY: MRS.
