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.

 

要是我有錦繡天衣，

交織著金和銀的光彩。

那蔚藍、黯淡和深黑的錦衣，為黑夜、白晝和晨昏穿戴，

我願把它鋪在你腳下。

 

但我，窮，

只能有美夢，

我把我的夢鋪在你腳下，

輕點踩，因為你踩著我的夢。
