He wishes for the cloths of heaven
Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
若我有天国的锦缎，
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
以金银色的光线编织，
The blue and the dim and the dark cloth
还有湛蓝的夜色与洁白的昼光
of night and light and the half-light,
以及黎明和黄昏错综的光芒，
I would spread the cloth under your feet;
我将用这锦缎铺展在你的脚下。
But I,being poor,have only my dreams;
可我，如此贫穷，仅仅拥有梦；
I have spread my dreams under your feet,
就把我的梦铺展在你的脚下，
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
轻一点啊，因为你脚踩着我的梦。
