[net.books] Yeats Poem

vic@sunybcs.UUCP (Vic Bahl) (12/24/85)

   Does anyone out there know the W.B. Yeats poem the following
   comes from :  ( I am fairly certain that this an accurate
   rememberance of the lines, but forgive me if not).


	' I would spread my clothes under your feet,
	  But I am a poor man and have only my dreams.
	  I have spread my dreams under your feet,
	  So tread softly for you thread on my dreams.'

  

   If anyone can help me I would be most appreciative.  Please mail all
   responses to me as I am not a regular reader of this news group.

   Thank you.

  I have to correct the last line of the quote. It should read :


	   ' So tread softly for you tread on my dreams. '


  ie.,  'tread' and not 'thread'
