Lyrics

Theme

The theme of this story is death.

"Ring-a-round the rosie,

A pocket full of posies,

Ashes! Ashes!

We all fall down."

Memento Mori "Remember that you will die."

When people died they would put posies on the dead bodies to make sure you wouldn't smell bad.

The Black Death by: John Hatcher

  • "The world is like a chess board, checkered white and black. The colors show conditions of life and death." (Hatcher 45)
  • "But still the deaths mount without ceasing," (Hatcher 60)
