Adrian Raftery reads He wishes for Cloths of Heaven.

In this poem WB Yeats' describes how he would love to spread beautifully decorated cloths of heaven made with golden, silver and dark light under his beloved’s path. But he is poor and can’t give her beautiful cloths. He can give her only his dreams. And he requests her to walk softly because his dreams may be broken easily.
