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 : But I , being poor , have only my dreams ; I have spread my dreams under your feet ; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams .
3W.B. Yeats
