THE CHARIOT.

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

Beautiful!

Aaron Copland set some of Dickinson's poems to music, including this one.

I didn't know that. I'll have to look for that on YouTube.
