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