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 strove
At Recess--in the ring--
We passed the Fields of Gazing Grain--
We passed the Setting Sun--
 
Or rather--he passed Us--
The Dews grew quivering and chill--
For only Gossamer, my Gown--
My Tippet--only Tulle--
 
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--and yet
Feels shorter than the Day
I first surmised the Horses' Heads
Were toward Eternity--
