I love it - here's some more!
Had I the heaven's embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with gold and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths,
Of night and light and half light,
I would spread these cloths under your feet:
But I being poor have only my dreams;
I spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
W B Yeats
This poem has been a firm favourite of mine and my sis Caro since we were teenagers. I read it at her wedding.
