Poem : "The wind among the reeds"

Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,

Enwrought with golden and silver lights,

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.

Analysis:

The title of this poem is "The wind among the reeds" and it was written in 1899 by William Butler Yeats. The structure of the text is very simple, it is one stanza with eight lines. It is a particular poem because the rhymes are made up of the same words. The article "the", the sound "-ight", the words "cloths" and "dreams" are repeated in the poem.

I cannot have any expectation from the title.

In the first and in the second lines there aren't particular things which are important for the structure or the sound of the line.

In the third line the article "the" is repeated three times and in the fourth line the sound "-ight" are repeated three times, too.

In the last three lines the word "dreams" is repeated three times.

The number three returns during all the poem.

There are not any relationships between the second and the third and the fourth and the fifth lines because they talk about different things.

In the end there are some relationships between last three lines because they talk about dreams.
