the cloths of heaven

had i the heavens' embroider 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.
