Danse Macabre

A lovely song/poem from The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman.

(From The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman)

Danse Macabre


Rich man, poor man, come away.
Come to dance the Macabray.

Time to work and time to play.
Time to dance the Macabray.

One and all will hear and stay
Come and dance the Macabray.

All must dance the Macabray.

One to leave and one to stay
And all to dance the Macabray

Now the Lady oon the Gray
Leads us in the Macabray.
