"Razors pain you rivers are damp"

"The sea is calm to-night.
The tide is full, the moon lies fair"

"Because I could not stop for Death,
He kindly stopped for me;
The carriage held but just ourselves
And Immortality."

She made three paces through the room,
She saw the water-lily bloom,
She saw the helmet and the plume,
She look'd down to Camelot. "
