1He Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven
2Had 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:
3But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
4I have spread my dreams under your feet;
5Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
6W.B. Yeats
