I could not stop for Death
     by Emily Dickinson
Because I could not stop for Death

The carriage held but just Ourselves

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,

Or rather - He passed Us
The Dews grew quivering and chill
For only Gossamer my Gown
16- My Tippet - only Tulle -
