Because I Could Not Stop for Death

Lyrics
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 labour, and my leisure too For His Civility — We passed the School, where Children At Recess – in the Ring – 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 – in the Ground – Since then ’tis centuries; but each Feels shorter than the day I first surmised the horses’ heads Were toward eternity
