Danse Macabre 2010 ( Saint-Saëns )

.

This morning when I woke up, this melody 'popped up', by mind communicated over-distance..(?), Dance Macabre de Saint-Saëns.
 ( as I slept with radio Klara on, I checked  to see if this music was on the playlist and I could have heard it subconsciously, it wasn't).

Though, with some deduction,etc, I could place some possible meaning of it..👀


Saint-Saëns' Danse Macabre (Dance of Death) is based on this poem written by Henri Cazalis.
 Zig, zig, zig, Death in cadence, 
 Striking with his heel a tomb, 
 Death at midnight plays a dance-tune, 
 Zig, zig, zig, on his violin. 
 The winter wind blows and the night is dark; 
 Moans are heard in the linden-trees. 
 Through the gloom, white skeletons pass, 
 Running and leaping in their shrouds. 
 Zig, zig, zig, each one is frisking. 
 The bones of the dancers are heard to crack- 
 But hist! of a sudden they quit the round, 
 They push forward, they fly; the cock has crowed.
