Because I could not stop for Death - (479) 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 strove At Reces - in the Ring - We passed the fields of Gazing Grain - We passed the Setting Sun - Or Pither - He passed 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 coming in the Ground - How do the first 2 lines of the poem frame the speaker's tone and perspectiva towards death? ​
