Sean's character, Partridge, reads the last three lines from a poem in the film. The poem is called
"He Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven". It was written by W.B. Yeats and was published in 1899.
The full poem is below
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.
