I don’t really know exactly what William Butler Yeats was talking about but I like the theme.

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.

thanks. I just like that fact it sounded like someone opening themselves up and is warning the person to tread carefully, because to tread on my dreams.
