leslie crabtree - because i could not stop for death lyrics

Loading...

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 labour, and my leisure too
for his civility —

we passed the school, where children
at recess – in the ring –
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 – in the ground –

since then ’tis centuries; but each
feels shorter than the day
i first surmised the horses’ heads
were toward eternity

- leslie crabtree
