Now that I know
How passion warms little
Of flesh in the mould,
And treasure is brittle, --
I'll lie here and learn
How, over their ground
Trees make a long shadow
And a light sound.

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 ~
