What do you think this poem is about?

"Unto Me?" I do not know you

964

"Unto Me?" I do not know you—
Where may be your House?

"I am Jesus—Late of Judea—
Now—of Paradise"—

Wagons—have you—to convey me?
This is far from Thence—

"Arms of Mine—sufficient Phaeton—
Trust Omnipotence"—

I am spotted—"I am Pardon"—
I am small—"The Least
Is esteemed in Heaven the Chiefest—
Occupy my House"—

    I'm doing a project on Emily Dickinson for my 11th grade American Literature class, and i need to find a poem by Miss Emily Dickinson and then analyze it, i chose this poem, but i don't really understand it, so if anybody could please explain it to me and help me to better understand it, i would be extremely grateful.

    This feels very good about Christianity, and Christians will react to it in very familiar patterns. It is good to see this poem being written for the advancement of Christian science, which is basically that pointed out by this poem. I do not take on every belief, but the passion is shown with a kind of fervour too polite. To tell Jesus that he trusts omnipotence is then brave and totally courageous. The bravery I can extract is vast in such a short amount of poetry. The poem is so small for its amount of information that it occupies my house!
