The poem you are referring to is "Because I could not stop for Death" by Emily Dickinson. It explores the theme of mortality and describes a journey with Death personified as a courteous gentleman accompanying the speaker to the afterlife.
This is a poem by Emily Dickenson, simply entitled "Death". She wrote multiple versions of this poem, but the full version is as follows:
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.
There is much symbolism and meaning to be gleaned, if one is either patient enough, or feels the compulsion to read others' opinions. I have added a related link to a website that I find is very helpful on the subject.
Basically two themes that I found in this poem were:
Death can come at any time
In this poem, i would say that the figurative language that is used as the most purpose-full are metaphors and personification.
You can't stop for death, but it will stop for you because you don't know when it coming
As a kindly person is the incorrect answer.
death is good go with it
About stopping for death.

In the poem Because I could not stop for Death by Emily Dickinson, death is in the carriage with the speaker.
couldnt stop all the merores and tear they cryed
They couldnt do anything to stop the rebellion
All of life leads toward death.

Dickinson was not afraid of the idea of death so to her, he's a gentleman. We know she's comfortable with the idea of death because the grave is her "house."
