W.B. Yeats - I have spread my dreams under your feet

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.



W.B. Yeats (1865–1939)
"He Wishes For the Cloths of Heaven"
from The Collected Works of W.B. Yeats
