Great Poem: 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.
