Reciting poems serves as one of the best ways to express the heartfelt feelings of love. Most of the Valentine's Day poems make use of poetic devices, such as similes and metaphors, to convey their meaning to the reader as well as make them interesting. Some poems are also categorized as 'metaphysical' ones. In such poems, two different things, which don't have any correlation, are often compared. This adds to the beauty of such poems. 'Cloths Of Heaven' is also a metaphysical poem, in which the poet William Butler Yeats has 'embroidered' heavens' cloths, to spread under the feet of his beloved, for her to tread on. Read the poem given below and know how the poet has used his imagery!
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.
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
