Because I Could Not Stop For Death
Emily Dickinson
Because I could not stop for Death—
Emily Dickinson
He kindly stopped for me—
Emily Dickinson
The Carriage held but just Ourselves—
Emily Dickinson
And Immortality.
Emily Dickinson
We slowly drove — He knew no haste
Emily Dickinson
And I had put away
Emily Dickinson
My labor and my leisure too,
Emily Dickinson
For His Civility—
Emily Dickinson
We passed the School, where Children strove
Emily Dickinson
At Recess — in the Ring—
Emily Dickinson
We passed the Fields of Gazing Grain—
Emily Dickinson
We passed the Setting Sun—
Emily Dickinson
Or rather — He passed Us—
Emily Dickinson
The Dews drew quivering and Chill—
Emily Dickinson
For only Gossamer, my Gown—
Emily Dickinson
My Tippet — only Tulle—
Emily Dickinson
We paused before a House that seemed
Emily Dickinson
A Swelling of the Ground—
Emily Dickinson
The Roof was scarcely visible—
Emily Dickinson
The Cornice — in the Ground—
Emily Dickinson
Since then — ’tis Centuries — and yet
Emily Dickinson
Feels shorter than the Day
Emily Dickinson
I first surmised the Horses’ Heads
Emily Dickinson
Were toward Eternity—
