In Emily Dickinson's poem, "Because I could not stop for death," the theme is the unstoppable nature of death. The structure of the poem is organized around the speaker's journey to the afterlife. The first stanza shows Death picking up the speaker in a carriage. The next stanza shows Death and the speaker slowly driving through town. First they pass the school, another stanza describes her dress, and the next stanza shows them passing a house. All of these stops reveal the narrator’s journey. The final stanza explains that the journey has reached its end.

Within each stanza, the poet has organized the details in terms of movement (where Death and the speaker are or are going) and what they see. It is like a tour through the speaker's life. In this way, the structure contributes to the overall meaning or theme of the poem.
