天锦

叶兹(青蛇译)

假如宇宙上苍赐我金光银线
我愿用它们编织天堂的锦缎
那蔚蓝、泼墨和昏幽的色彩
是光明、黑暗与茫然的咏叹
然而一贫如洗的我唯有春梦
我已将心中的柔情化作红毯
爱人啊你就在上面纤足翩然
犹如你的仙姿在我梦中旋转

“He Wishes For The Cloths Of Heaven”

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.
