The first-person narration being used here freezes time or carves out a specific moment in time for the narrator to really set up the what he/she is thinking before the sun comes up. More prominently, the phrase "I stare," slows down the poem and prepares the reader for what he is realy thinking.

Additionally, it is the only stanza with an "I" repeated three times, reminding readers that these are thoughts one person not a representation of others. First-person narrration is always personalised but in this poem, the contemplation of death seems so universal because everyone will face death eventually
