1
Because I could not stop for Cops
They kindly Stopped for Me
The Roadblocks covered all three lanes
Perfect Symmetry
2
A narrow Fellow - in the grass
With one eyed � snake � and smile
You may have met him � did you not
The local � paedo � phile
3
I heard a Boy-Band - when I died
The Radio - was on
And rushing so - to switch it Off
And catching - my left Thumb
And dancing round in - Painful Jig
And - tripping on a clod
Such - Banal invitation - to
The Vestibule of God
4
Hope is a thing with feathers
That perches in my Bowl
And pecks up all my Cereal
Until it's drowned in milk
5
When the Landlord turned - the drunken Bee
Out of - the Foxglove's door,
They arrested him - for being "twee"
And broke his - fingers four
Because I could not stop for Cops
They kindly Stopped for Me
The Roadblocks covered all three lanes
Perfect Symmetry

I think the image on the cover is brilliant.

Haha, anyway 'Because I could not stop for death' is one of my favourites of hers.

:O)
ETA #2 has a Gadfly Savillesque impact
