Emily Dickinson - FATHER, I bring thee not myself

In "Father -- I bring thee not myself," Emily Dickinson is deciding what to give to God: herself or her heart. It seems she started loving someone, the give away lines being "The heart I cherished in my own/Till mine". She has added her love to her and as a result, her heart is now larger and richer.  She decides that her heart would be the better gift for God: one filled with love. The question she is not sure about is if it is too large for God - blasphemously suggesting that her love has perhaps made her heart too large even for God. Reminds me of the very playful Mirza Ghalib. 

Father—I bring thee not myself—

That were the little load—

I bring thee the imperial Heart

I had not strength to hold—

The heart I cherished in my own

Till mine—too heavy grew—

Yet—strangest—heavier—since it went—

Is it too large for you?

- Emily Dickinson
