• For I would never stop for death,
    So, He kindly stopped for me.
    We rode together in the night,
    Like silent jubilee.
    So forever we would be.
    Oh, how kind was death to me?

    For I would hesitate to stop for death,
    But he kindly stopped for me.
    For life flew by,
    Neither rain nor shine,
    The land I dreamed by the sea.

    For one day I finally stopped for death,
    Yet he rode away in glee.
    For he had just toyed my heart.
    So here alone I wait for death.
    So I may die in jubilee.
