Text from 'Aedh Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven'
by William Butler Yeats (1865-1939)
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.
Video Producer: Barnaby Smith
Camera Operators: Alexander Van Ingen and Aytan Buyukoglu
Audio Engineer and Mixer: David Hinitt
Audio Session Producer: Adrian Peacock
