= Because I Could Not Stop For Death = By Emily Dickinson

Because I could not stop for Death , He k i ndly stop ped for me; The carr i age held but just ourselves And I mmortal i ty.

We slowly drove, he knew no haste, And I had put away My labour, and my le i sure too, For h i s c i v i l i ty.

We passed the school where ch i ldren played, The i r lessons scarcely done; We passed the f i elds of gaz i ng gra i n, We passed the sett i ng sun.

We paused be for e a house that seemed A swell i ng of the ground; The roof was scarcely v i s i ble, The corn i ce but a mound.

S i nce then 't i s centur i es; but each Feels shorter than the day I f i rst surm i sed the horses' heads Were toward etern i ty.
