tread softly for you tread on my dreams" That is on Bono's gates and is part of a poem. I just wondered if anyone could tell me what the poem is called and who it is by. Does anyone know?
Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enrought with gloden 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;
Thread softly because you thread upon my dreams.
I love that poem so much. Yeats is my favourite poet. As I now live in Dublin I should go check out Bono's gates some time! I should also read this part of the forum more.
that poem inspired one i wrote about someone i was very much in love with
i actually liked that poem too
*sigh*
what a wonderful writer Yeats was and lives on to be
