Because I could not stop for Death by Emily Dickinson

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 drew 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
