BECAUSE I could not stop for Death,By Emily DickinsonBECAUSE I could not stop for Death,He kindly stopped for me;The carriage held but just ourselvesAnd Immortality.

We slowly drove, he knew no haste,And I had put awayMy labor, and my leisure too,For his civility.

We passed the school where children playedAt wrestling in a ring;We passed the fields of gazing grain,We passed the setting sun.

We paused before a house that seemedA swelling of the ground;The roof was scarcely visible,The cornice but a mound.

Since then ’t is centuries; but eachFeels shorter than the dayI first surmised the horses’ headsWere toward eternity.
