    The correct answer is: I have died.

    A euphemisms is a word or a phrase that is substituted for a word or phrase that is considered to be too blunt or too straightforward when referring to something disturbing, sad, upsetting etc.

    'I have been stilled' is a much gentler way of saying 'I have died'. It sounds less direct and less brutal.

    This is a phrase from Thomas Hardy's poem 'Afterwards'.
