Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,

但愿我有金银的光线，

Enwrought with golden and silver light,

织成一幅天堂的锦缎，

The blue and the dim and the dark cloths

深黑、微暗、湛蓝，

Of night and light and the half-light,

昼、夜、晨昏万化千变；

I would spread the cloths under your feet:

可我一贫如洗，唯剩心愿，

But I, being poor, have only my dreams;

无法将那锦缎呈献你的面前；

I have spread my dreams under your feet;

我只能把心愿铺在你的脚下，

Tread softly, because you tread on my dreams.

踩踏吧，请你轻轻踩踏我的梦幻。
