[English] the Cloths of Heaven

Aedh 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.   


The Wind Among the Reeds  1899

W.B. Yeats (1865–1939)



Cheers,
Stephen
