Phong Nguyen - Emily Dickinson's “Because I could not stop for d**h (712)” lyrics

Because I could not stop for d**h – 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 my leisure too For His Civility – We pa**ed the School, where Children strove At Recess – in the Ring – We pa**ed the Fields of Gazing Grain – We pa**ed the Setting Sun – Or rather – He pa**ed us – The Dews drew quivering and chill – For 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 – Since then – 'tis Centuries – and yet Feels shorter than the Day I first surmised the Horses' Heads Were toward Eternity –
