How many stanzas are in the following poem?

Because I could not stop for Death,
He kindly stopped for me;
The carriage held but just ourselves
And Immortality.

We slowly drove, he knew no haste,
And I had put away
My labor, and my leisure too,
For his civility.

We passed the school where children played,
Their lessons scarcely done;
We passed the fields of gazing grain,
We passed the setting sun.

We paused before a house that seemed
A swelling of the ground;
The roof was scarcely visible,
The cornice but a mound.

Since then 'tis centuries; but each 
Feels shorter than the day 
I first surmised the horses' heads 
Were toward eternity.

Stanzas are like the different sections (the "paragraphs") of the poem. Sorry if that sounds confusing. For example 
"We paused before a house that seemed 
A swelling of the ground; 
The roof was scarcely visible, 
The cornice but a mound. "
This is one stanza.
