Poem A Day

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 --
