The Irish poet, dramatist, and Nobel laureate William Butler Yeats wrote the poem Aedh Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven in his 1899 volume of poetry. Comprising only eight lines of text, the simplicity and honesty of the text is perfectly set in this elegant a capella work for mixed divisi choirs. Stunning harmonies create a shimmering effect that is quite transformative. "I have spread my dreams under your feet; tread softly because you tread on my dreams."
