Two favourites:
He wishes for the cloths of heaven, by William Butler Yeats
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
Wenn ich ein Vöglein wär – German Folk Song
If I were a little bird
And had two wings,
I’d fly to you.
But as it can’t be
But as it can’t be,
I always stay here.
I’m also far from you,
I’m by your side in dreams
And I talk to you.
When I wake up,
When I wake up,
I’m on my own.
There is no hour in the night,
In which my heart doesn’t wake up
And think of you,
That, more than a thousand times,
That, more than a thousand times,
You give your heart to me.
The cloths of heaven was one I carried around in my special notebook when I was a teenager
Yeah I have been a fan of it since my teens. Do you think it might be a bit emo, then?
