我不能停步等候死神
——mily Dickinson
我不能停步等候死神
他殷勤停車接我
車廂裡只有我們倆
還有“永生”同座
我們緩緩而行，他知道無需急促
我也拋開勞作

Dew and cold makes me quiver
Because my clothes, just sheer
And my cape, only tulle
We stopped at a house, the house
As a swelling of the ground
The roof, barely visible
Eaves, below the surface of the ground
Since then, several centuries
Seems to short the time of day
That day, I first guess
The horse, towards the eternal
