Quote

But I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet.

W. B. YeatsHe Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven

Note

This line contrasts external poverty with internal richness. It leans toward an internal standard, suggesting that even without material wealth, one's dreams—what resides within—are valuable enough to offer and share.
