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

At recess, in the ring;

We passed the fields of gazing grain,

We passed the setting sun.

Or rather, he passed us;

The dews grew 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 but a mound.

Since then 'tis centuries, and yet each

Feels shorter than the day

I first surmised the horses' heads

Were toward eternity.

我无暇去会死亡

爱米莉·伊丽莎白·狄更生

我无暇去会死亡，

死神便和善地接我前往，

我只好放下劳作与闲暇，

无法拒绝他的殷勤礼让。

我们一起坐上马车，

还有永生陪伴身旁，

我们驱车缓缓前行，

emilydickinson的诗

因为Emily Dickinson的诗歌对英文诗歌的影响非常之大，以下是列举了一些经典的Emily Dickinson的诗歌：

1. Because I could not stop for Death

Because I could not stop for Death –

He kindly stopped for me –

The Carriage held but just Ourselves –

And Immortality.

2. Hope is the Thing with Feathers

Hope is the thing with feathers

That perches in the soul,

And sings the tune without the words,

And never stops at all.

3. I heard a Fly buzz – when I died

The Stillness in the Room

Was like the Stillness in the Air –

Between the Heaves of Storm –

4. I’m Nobody! Who are you?

I’m nobody! Who are you?

Are you nobody, too?

Then there’s a pair of us – don’t tell!

They’d banish us, you know.

5. Success is counted sweetest

Success is counted sweetest By those who ne’er succeed.

To comprehend a nectar

Requires sorest need.

以上列举仅为部分Emily Dickinson的诗歌，她的诗作大多都充满深邃的思想和独特的风格，非常值得一读。

简析艾米莉?狄金森的《因为我不能停步等候死神》获奖科研报告

摘 要：在19世紀，美国文学史上出现了一位具有传奇色彩的女诗人，她的诗特别之处在于她对生活的态度、对哲学的思考、对永恒的探索。她就是艾米丽狄金森，一个与她的时代格格不入的伟大诗人，一个具有独立主见的女性代表。

艾米丽生前写了近1800首诗，但只出版过7首。自从她25岁起，艾米丽就开始与外界隔绝，闭门不出，专注于庭院和诗。“Because I

could not stop for Death” 是一首围绕死亡和永恒的诗，字里行间流露出她对生命延续，灵魂永生的思考。

A Brief Analysis of BECAUSE I COULD NOT STOP FOR DEATH by

Emily Dickinson

Abstract：In 19th century，there was a legendary poetess

in American history，whose poems were empowered by how she

looked at this world，how much she pondered about the philosophy

and how she explored the eternity which made her fairly

idiosyncratic. She was Emily Dickinson，a great poetess who

differed from others in her age，an independent female

representative with mind and talents.

Emily wrote nearly 1800 poems in her life but only 7 of them
