假如我有天国的锦绣绸缎，

Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,

那用金色银色的光线织就，

Enwrought with golden and silver light,

黑夜、白天、黎明和傍晚，

The blue and the dim and the dark cloths

湛蓝、灰暗和漆黑的锦缎，

Of night and light and the half-light,

我就把那锦缎铺在你脚下；

I would spread the cloths under your feet:

可我，一贫如洗，只有梦；

But I, being poor, have only my dreams;

我把我的梦铺在了你脚下；

I have spread my dreams under your feet;

轻点，因为你踏着我的梦。

Tread softly, because you tread on my dreams.
