221Broadcast at Closedown on ITV in London on Sunday 14 February 1982, Ian Partridge and Jennifer Partridge perform Cloths of Heaven, a setting by Thomas Dunhill of the poem by W.B. Yeats (VHS source)
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.
