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.
