one of england's most loved poems happens to be one of my favorites too.

He Wishes For The Cloths Of Heaven

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.



William Butler Yeats

William Butler Yeats' Epitaph - as penned by himself

   Cast a cold eye
On life, on death,
Horseman, pass by!
