Wall Poetry [Spoilers]

[Asymptote]

Whoever it was that came through the testchambers before Chell scribbled some poetry on one of the walls. Specifically:

Not in anger or in wrath
The reaper came today
An angel visited this gray path
And took the cube away

and

Because I could not stop for death
He kindly stopped for me...

I could swear I've read these lines before. Does anyone know where they might be from?

Because I could not stop for death
