Aedh Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven

William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

HAD I the heavens’ embroider’d 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.
