Lyrics:
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 played At wrestling in a ring We passed the fields of gazing grain, We passed the setting sun We paused before a house that seemed A swelling in the ground The roof was scarcely visible, The cornice but a mound Since then ’tis centuries but each Feels shorter than the day I first surmised the horses’ heads Were toward eternity Because I could not stop for Death, He kindly stopped for me The carriage held but just ourselves And Immortality
