| Because I Could Not Stop For Death |
|---|
| Because I could not stop for Death |
| He kindly stopped for me — |
| The carriage held but just Ourselves |
| And Immortality |
| We slowly drove — He knew no haste |
| And I had put away |
| My labor and my leisure too |
| For his civility — |
| We passed the School where Children played |
| Their lessons scarcely done — |
| We passed the Fields of Gazing Grain — |
| We passed the Setting Sun — |
| We paused before a House that seemed |
| A Swelling of the Ground — |
| The Roof was scarcely visible |
| The Cornice — but a mound |
| Since then — 'tis centuries — but each |
| Feels shorter than the Day |
| I first surmised the Horses' Heads |
| Were toward Eternity |
