The Heaven Vests for Each - meaning Summary
Divine Accessibility to All
The poem presents a quiet meditation on the inward spark of divinity in every person and its timid desire to worship. Dickinson imagines this small, bashful impulse petitioning the greater Glory until earthly limitations fall away and full participation in eternity is granted. The tone emphasizes a surprising, widespread clemency: even the least and most distant souls are enabled to adore, making divine reception intimate and accessible.
