My life closed twice before its close; It yet remains to seeIf Immortality unveil A third event to me, So huge, so hopeless to conceive, As these that twice befell. Parting is all we know of heaven, And all we need of hell.

The bustle in a houseThe morning after deathIs solemnest of industriesEnacted upon earth,--The sweeping up the heart, And putting love awayWe shall not want to use againUntil eternity
death poetry
Because I could not stop for Death, He kindly stopped for me; The carriage held but just ourselvesAnd Immortality. We slowly drove, he knew no haste, And I had put awayMy labour, 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 seemedA swelling of the ground; The roof was scarcely visible, The cornice but a mound. Since then 'tis centuries; but eachFeels shorter than the dayI first surmised the horses' headsWere toward eternity.
