他渴望天国的绣锦

by William Butler Yeats

假如我有天国的绣锦，

织有金色和银色的光芒，

蓝色、浅褐和暗色的锦饰

那是夜色、光亮和暗光，

我将把那秀锦铺在你的脚下：

但我，贫穷的只剩梦想;

我已把我的梦铺在你的脚下;

轻轻踩踏啊，因你踩在我的梦上。

He Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven

by 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.
