He Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven
[爱尔兰]威廉·巴特勒·叶芝
William Butler Yeats
若我有天国的锦缎，
以金银色的光线编织，
还有湛蓝的夜色与洁白的昼光
以及黎明和黄昏错综的光芒，
我将用这锦缎铺展在你的脚下。
可我，如此贫穷，仅仅拥有梦；
就把我的梦铺展在你的脚下，
轻一点啊，因为你脚踩着我的梦。
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.
