I like the opening: “Know thy own point: This kind, this due degree Of blindness, weakness, Heav’n bestows on thee. Submit.—In this, or any other sphere, Secure to be as blest as thou canst bear.”
I got the interpretation that despite the disability, one should circumvent the disability and embrace a sense that it is a blessing.
Anyway, this is my view of the poem. I am still working on my disability of interpreting abstract meaning from poems. I got experience reading poems from Langston Hughes because they resonated well. My guess is that poems stand out more clearly when you can relate to the content.
