The Chariot (Because I Could Not Stop For Death)
ReplyDeleteBy: Emily Dickinson
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 labor, and my leisure too,
For his civility.
We passed the school where children played,
Their lessons scarcely done;
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 but a mound.
Since then 'tis centuries but each
Feels shorter than the day
I first surmised the horses' heads
Were toward eternity.
From one Northsider to another, Donna, I always smile whenever I think of you - DanD
Dan that was a very lovely poem, it made me cry. Donna our little "Willie" can rest in peace now, although she will be misssed, but always remembered as our mascot. Goodbye Donna. CNC
