Emily Dickinson - The ChariotEmily Dickinson - The Chariot
Work rating: High


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, Their lessons scarcely done; We passed the fields of gazing grain, We passed the setting sun. We paused before a house that seemed A swelling of the ground; The roof was scarcely visible, The cornice but a mound. Since then `t is centuries; but each Feels shorter than the day I first surmised the horses` heads Were toward eternity.
