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 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 passed 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' Head 
Were toward Eternity---]]> 2017-04-03 14:16:09 UTC https://padlet.com/vasquez784/jqaha61lzew9/wish/164344919 Poem Meaning cushey558 https://padlet.com/vasquez784/jqaha61lzew9/wish/164346658 Death is showing her life and joyous moments to build up fear for her end.
