Aedh Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven
by William Butler Yeats
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.

ReplyDeleteThat's all I've read by him, and I don't even remember how I found it! But I'm definitely reading more! :)
OK, The Second Coming by him is good although rather creepy and, obviously, apocalyptic. And Sailing To Byzantium is another cool one. ;)
