He Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven
by
William Butler 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.
