Poetry Friday

He Wishes For The Cloths Of Heaven – by William Butler Yeats

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.

 

Enjoy your Friday, everyone!

I try to use what I have, be responsible with materials, and make ugly things beautiful instead of throwing them away.
