On a more
modern note, how about "The Reaper" sung by Blue Oyster Cult. The entire concept is
aof Death as the Grim Reaper. Other things are personified (brought to life), as well.
"Seasons don't fear the Reaper, nor do the wind and the sun and the rain. We can be like
they are." It's a rather depressing song, as it's essentially an invitation to die in a
suicide pact (like Romeo and Juliet, also mentioned in the song), but it does contain figurative
language.
