\nEnwrought with golden and silver light,
\nThe blue and the dim and the dark cloths
\nOf night and light and the half-light,
\nI would spread the cloths under your feet:
\nBut I, being poor, have only my dreams;
\nI have spread my dreams under your feet;
\nTread softly because you tread on my dreams. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
