他想要天國的綢緞

葉慈

假如我有天國的錦緞，

繡滿金光和銀光，

那用夜和光和微光

織就的藍和灰和黑色的錦緞，

我將把它們鋪在你腳下：

但我很窮，只有夢；

我把我的夢鋪在你腳下；

輕輕踩啊，因為你踩的是我的夢。

He Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven
William Butler Yeats

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.
