Lone Fir Cemetery - Because I Could Not Stop for Death by Emily Dickinson lyrics

Artist: Lone Fir Cemetery

album: Lone Fir Cemetery


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
We had to put away
Your 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 grazing grain
We passed the setting sun
Or maybe it passed us
Dews drew quivering and chill
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
'Tis then 'tis centuries and yet
Feels shorter than the day
I first surmised the horse's heads
Were toward eternity
