Aedh Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven

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.


-William Butler Yeats
