I could not stop for- Death

by Emily Dickinson

Because I could not stop for Death -

He kindly stopped for me-

The carriage held but just Ourselves -

4- And Immortality.

 

We slowly drove - He knew no haste,

And I had put away

My labor, and my leisure too,

8- For His Civility -

 

We passed the School, where Children strove

At Recess - in the Ring -

We passed the fields of gazing grain,

12- We passed the Setting Sun -

 

Or rather - He passed Us -

The Dews grew quivering and chill -

For only Gossamer my Gown -

16- My Tippet - only Tulle-

 

We paused before a House that seemed

A Swelling of the Ground -

The Roof was scarcely visible -

20- The Cornice - but a Mound -

 

Since then - 'tis Centuries - and yet

Feels shorter than the Day,

I first surmised the Horses' Heads.

24- Were toward Eternity
