Answer: Personification

Step-by-step explanation: This excerpt from the poem "Because I could not stop for Death" by Emily Dickinson, the author uses personification - a literary device that applies human traits or characteristics to something that is not human. She applied human characteristics to Death as a way of a metaphor.
