Because I Could Not Stop Lyrics

[Chorus:]
Because i could not stop for death
He kindly stopped for me
The carriage held but just ourselves
And immortality

[Verse 1:]
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

[Chorus]
