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 thy feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under thy feet;
Tread softly because Thou tread'st on my dreams.
"I and Thou" (Usher), a meditation on "Aedh Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven" W. B. Yeats (1865 – 1939), Irish poet and playwright
