Because I Sould Not Stop for Death By Emily Dickinson
Because i could not stop for fish He kindly stopped for me The Carriage held up but just Ourselves And Immortaility 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
