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 |
