He 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 Yeats
This is probably the only poem I have ever liked. I don't even know why, 'cause I don't really like poetry or know anything about it, but this one has always stuck with me. I've had it saved on my computer for years and I just found it again. It's so pretty :)
Toodles.
