| 1 | He Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven |
| 2 | Had I the heavens ' embroidered cloths , Enwrought with golden and silver light , The blue and the dim and the dark cloths Of night and light and half - light , I would spread the cloths under your feet : |
| 3 | But I , being poor , have only my dreams ; |
| 4 | I have spread my dreams under your feet ; |
| 5 | Tread softly because you tread on my dreams . |
| 6 | W.B. Yeats |
