Poem A Day Open in app

Classic poem

The Heaven vests for Each

by Emily Dickinson

The Heaven vests for Each

In that small Deity

It craved the grace to worship

Some bashful Summer's Day --

Half shrinking from the Glory

It importuned to see

Till these faint Tabernacles drop

In full Eternity --

How imminent the Venture --

As one should sue a Star --

For His mean sake to leave the Row

And entertain Despair --

A Clemency so common --

We almost cease to fear --

Enabling the minutest --

And furthest -- to adore --
