Lyrics Because I Could Not Stop For Death - Remastered - Natalie Merchant with Susan McKeown & The Chanting House
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
