Because I Could Not Stop for Death-Julie Harris

[00:00.00]Because I could not stop for death—Emily ****inson [00:03.00]He kindly stopped for me . [00:06.00]The carriage , [00:07.00]Held but just ourselves — [00:10.00]And immortality. [00:13.00]We slowly drove — he knew no haste, [00:17.00]And I had put away [00:19.00]My labor and my leisure too— [00:21.00]For his civility . [00:24.00]We passed the school, [00:25.00]Where children played [00:26.00]At recessing—in a ring. [00:29.00]We passed the fields of gazing grain , [00:32.00]We passed the setting sun , [00:36.00]We paused before a house that seemed— [00:39.00]A swelling of the ground . [00:43.00]The roof was scarcely visible , [00:45.00]The cornice — but a mound. [00:48.00]Since then — 'tis centuries , [00:53.00]And yet,feels shorter than the day. [00:58.00]I first surmised the horses' heads— [01:02.00]Were toward eternity.
