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 those 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.

(by W. B. Yeats - "brother of the more famous Jack")
