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
We passed the fields of gazing grain
We passed the setting sun
Or rather he passed us
Because I could not stop for Death
He kindly stopped for me
The carriage held but just ourselves
And immortality
Since then 'tis Centuries and yet
Feels shorter than the day
I first surmised the horses' heads
Were toward eternity
I could not stop for Death
I could not
Could not
Could not stop
He kindly stopped for me
We passed the school
Where children strove
And I had put away
My labor and my leisure too
For his civility
We paused before a house that seemed
A swelling of the ground
The roof was scarcely visible
The cornice in the ground
Because I could not stop for Death
He kindly stopped for me
The carriage held but just ourselves
And immortality
Since then 'tis Centuries and yet
Feels shorter than the day
I first surmised the Horses' Heads
Were toward eternity
I could not stop for Death
I could not
Could not
Could not stop
He kindly stopped for me
We slowly drove
Children strove
The fields of gazing grain
The dews quivering
Recess in the ring
His civility
Since then
'Tis Centuries and yet
Feels shorter than the day
I first surmised the horses' heads
Were toward eternity
I can
Can not stop for Death
I could not
Could not stop
He kindly stopped for me
