Valentine's Day


Well tomorrow being Valentine's Day I am including one of my favourite poems by William Butler Yeats. It is called `He 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.
