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