Within this tree
another tree
inhabits the same body;
[...]
And within my body,
another body,
whose history, waiting,
sings; there is no other body,
it sings,
there is no other world.

Within This Tree
Within this tree
another tree
inhabits the same body;
[...]
And within my body,
another body,
whose history, waiting,
sings; there is no other body,
it sings,
there is no other world.

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 ~
