Because I Could Not Stop For Death - Remastered
Because I could not stop for Death
He kindly stopped for me
The carriage held but just ourselves
And immortality
And immortality
We slowly drove, He knew no haste
And I, I had put away
My labor and my leisure too
For His civility
For His civility
We passed the school where children played
Their lessons scarcely done
We passed through fields of gazing grain
We passed the setting sun
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
The cornice but a mound
Since then 'tis centuries; but each
feels shorter than the day
Since I furst surmised the horses' heads
were toward eternity
were toward eternity
Because I could not stop for Death
He kindly stopped for me
The carriage held but just ourselves
And immortality
And immortality
He kindly stopped for me
The carriage held but just ourselves
And immortality
And immortality
We slowly drove, He knew no haste
And I, I had put away
My labor and my leisure too
For His civility
For His civility
We passed the school where children played
Their lessons scarcely done
We passed through fields of gazing grain
We passed the setting sun
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
The cornice but a mound
Since then 'tis centuries; but each
feels shorter than the day
Since I furst surmised the horses' heads
were toward eternity
were toward eternity
Because I could not stop for Death
He kindly stopped for me
The carriage held but just ourselves
And immortality
And immortality
