• Had I the heavens' 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.

  • I Never saw a moor,
      I never saw the sea;
    Yet know I how the heather looks,
      And what a wave must be.

    I never spake with God,
      Nor visited in heaven;
    Yet certain am I of the spot
      As if the chart were given.
