The poem's speaker, alone on a hill, gazes at the night sky and admires the beauty and timelessness of the stars. In simple, yet lyrical language, the poem celebrates nature's majesty and its ability to put human lives and cares into perspective..
Poets use stars to evoke emotions such as love, hope, and inspiration, drawing comparisons between the twinkling lights in the night sky and the depths of human emotion.
The poem takes a look at the emotive qualities of the dancers in Brueghel's painting. Williams describes their off-balance movements and the shape and size of their bodies. They dance chaotically, influenced by the amount of alcohol that they've “impound[ed]”.
