for Death” are both poems written by Emily Dickinson and are also both poems written about death, but in two very different ways. In “Because I Could Not Stop for Death”, Dickinson has a somewhat of a positive outlook of death. The speaker in her poem has somewhat of a comforting journey to eternal life, which is also the reason why this poem by Dickinson was more powerful to me.
