What Does Macabre Mean?



Macabre

Death is not so nice a thing
Its aspects can be frightening
Especially when amplified in scale,
Macabre then is the horrible
Grizzly and deplorable
Relating of one’s death in grim detail.

"Danse macabre", said the old French
That is to say the "Dance of Death"
Probably a reference in those days
To the ancient Maccabees
Who were slaughtered so horribly
Depicted in a medieval play…
