Q

He wishes for the clothes of heaven wb Yeats

A

Had I the heavens embroidered clothes, enwrought with golden and silver light, the blue and the dim and the dark cloth of night, light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloth under your feet But I being poor have only my dreams,
I have spread my dreams under your feet
Tread softy because you tread on my dreams
