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�
Have any suggestions for me?? Fill out this form :D
I got my form from
