I just looked this poem up online after not having seen it for several
years because I thought I might set it to music; however, after reading it
again I find it hardly needs musical setting, since William's rollicking
rhythms already do such a great job of suggesting the blare of fiddles and
the stomp of feet. If you want to really understand the poem then you
should find Breughel's great painting "The Kermess" online and SEE what
Williams was writing about. Cheers poetry lovers!
