About This Quote

But I, being poor, have only my dreams;I have spread my dreams under your feet;Tread softly because you tread on my dreams. If you are in love with someone who can’t be in love with you back, don’t let the lack of a response from them make you sad or upset. You can still have your dreams and they can still be fulfilled. In this quote, the speaker is talking about his dream of one day being rich enough to get married.

At the time he was young and poor, but it wasn’t going to stop him from his dream. Also, he is saying that he has spread his dreams under her feet and that she will be stepping on them when she walks across them.
