Both speakers appear confident and accepting.
In "Because I Could Not Stop for Death," the speaker calmly accepts Death as a courteous companion and moves toward immortality without fear ("He kindly stopped for me... The Carriage held but just Ourselves—and Immortality"). In "Some keep the Sabbath going to Church," the speaker confidently rejects outward ritual in favor of private worship, sure of God's presence at home ("Some keep the Sabbath going to Church—I keep it, staying at Home—; God preaches, a noted Clergyman"). Neither poem shows fear/confusion, submissive obedience, or awestruck amazement; both convey calm certainty.
