[03:07.18][00:11.46]Because I could not stop for Death,
[03:13.68][00:17.45]He kindly stopped for me;

[03:23.81][00:27.85]And Immortality.

[00:39.90]We slowly drove, he knew no haste,
[00:45.70]And I had put away

[01:44.72]A swelling of the ground;

[01:54.02]The cornice but a mound.

[02:23.45]Were toward eternity.
