Welcome to Litsy!

"Though I am old with wandering
Through hollow lands and hilly lands,
I will find out where she has gone,
And kiss her lips and take her hands;
And walk among long dappled grass,
And pluck till time and times are done
The silver apples of the moon,
The golden apples of the sun."

- The Song of Wandering Aengus

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.

- "He Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven"

"I bring you with reverent hands / The books of my numberless dreams, / White woman that passion has worn / As the tide wears the dove-grey sands, / And with heart more old than the horn / That is brimmed from the pale fire of time: / White woman with numberless dreams, / I bring you my passionate rhyme." -"A Poet to His Beloved" by W.B.
