He wishes for the cloths of heaven -- William Butler Yeats

(Poem #178)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 Butler Yeats
