Tear Jerker / William Butler Yeats

• The poem "Aedh Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven", especially considering that Aedh is a Yeats character described as pale, lovelorn, and lonely.

  Had I the heaven's 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.
