Listen to poem:
'tread Softly Because You Tread On My Dreams' By William Butler Yeats
For if I had a pence for every pound,
I would ponder first for it to be sound,
For it bears on my soul, I contemplate,
Do they that is endowed suffer this fate,
The teaching I present whose life is poor,
For I fear naught my dream be it grandeur,
Then having the means, beyond all measure,
As dreams are a place that gives me pleasure,
A charming approach opts best for our themes,
"Tread softly because you tread on my dreams."
