Although every poem is open to interpretation, i feel that perhaps Maureen had missed the true meaning of this poem, i believe it is a desparate out cry of emotion on the part of Dickinson, regarding her frustration with a lover who is inconsitent in his affection, and is therefore less a lover but more an unskilled pianist "fumbling" upon the keys of her soul, taking some form of gratification from it, completly unaware of the pain he is causing to her

I think this poem is about Emily's struggles with faith. Despite all her resistance, she cannot seem to ward off the work of God. Ultimately she rejects Him, but His power is still overwhelming.
