GR translation: Because I could not stop for Death

[Mike Jing]

V27.25-29, P28.5-9   To the current Slothrop’s grandfather Frederick
(d. 1933), who in typical sarcasm and guile bagged his epitaph from
Emily Dickinson, without a credit line:
       Because I could not stop for Death
       He kindly stopped for me


What does "stop for" mean exactly in the poem?  Most existing Chinese
translations have it as "stop and wait for", is it correct?
