He Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven.
by W.B Yeats


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 the 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.
