Yeah... I was busy. Too busy for the end.
But he... he had all the time in the world.
Because I could not stop for Death –
He kindly stopped for me –
The Carriage held but just Ourselves –
And Immortality. (Yeah, just us three)
We slowly drove – He knew no haste
And I had put away
My labor and my leisure too,
For His Civility – (He's a gentleman, right?)
No rush, no panic, just the ride.
The master of time, right by my side.
Everything I built, everything I knew,
Left behind in the rearview.
(Slowly driving... into the gray.)
We passed the School, where Children strove
At Recess – in the Ring –
We passed the Fields of Gazing Grain –
We passed the Setting Sun – (Going down, down)
Or rather – He passed Us –
The Dews drew quivering and chill –
For only Gossamer, my Gown –
My Tippet – only Tulle – (Getting cold now...)
We paused before a House that seemed
A Swelling of the Ground –
The Roof was scarcely visible –
The Cornice – in the Ground – (A home or a grave?)
No rush, no panic, just the ride.
The master of time, right by my side.
Everything I built, everything I knew,
Left behind in the rearview.
Since then – 'tis Centuries – and yet
Feels shorter than the Day
I first surmised the Horses' Heads
Were toward Eternity – (Eternity...)
Centuries like seconds.
Horse heads toward the void.
(Piano fades out)
(Wind sound lingers)
Stop for me...
He stopped for me.
(Silence)
