personification of Death as a male throughout the entire poem,
juxtapositioning of images of growth and youth (children, fields) and finality (gossamer gown- similar to funeral shroud, chilly dews likened to warmth leaving the skin of a dead person),
final stanza speaks to disorientation of space and time thats typical of a person facing death (- lots of references to passing time- centuries, eternity, shorter than day)
analytically, the poem talks about the futility of trying to escape death- its inevitable. this reconciliation with death and mortality is quite characteristic of dickinson.
hope this helps, but truthfully all you need to do is look at each line or stanza, make associations with words that jump out at you, and try to connect that to what you know about the human condition.
