原文地址：狄金森 《因为我不能停步等待死亡》
埃米莉·狄金森
因为我不能停步等待死亡因为我不能停步等待死亡所以他温和地停下来等我马车里只载着我们自己和不死的永恒。我们慢慢赶路，他知道无须匆忙于是我搁起了我的劳作，我的闲暇因为他彬彬有礼。

我们经过学校，那里孩子们
在课间铃声下喧闹
我们经过凝视的谷地
经过沉沉落日。
或毋宁说，它经过我们
露珠带来颤抖和寒意
因为只是蛛丝，我的长袍
我的披肩，只是罗网。
我们在一所房屋前停驻
那里看似一处大地的突起
屋顶几乎不可辨
屋檐没于泥土。
从那以后已数个世纪，然而
感觉比那一天更短暂
那时，我初次猜测
马的头颅都向着永恒。

Because I could not stop for Death
by Emily Dickinson
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
And I had put away
My labor and my leisure too,
For his civility.
We passed the School, where Children strove strive
At recess in the ring
We passedthe fields of gazing grain
We passed the setting sun.
Or rather, he passed us
The dews drew quivering and chill
For only Gossamer, my gown
My tippet only tulle.
We paused before a house that seemed
A swelling of the GROUND
The roof was scarcely visible
The cornice in the ground.
Since then 'tis centuriesand yet
Feels shorter than the DAY
I first surmised the horses' heads
Were toward eternity.
