From my Libria page under "Trivia"... The W.B. Yeats poem used was published in the collection The Wind Among the Reeds (1899).
He Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven
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.

In my "Oxford Anthology of English Verse" its title is "Aedh wishes for the Cloths of Heaven." That's where my 'handle' came from.
