他渴望天國的繡錦

by William Butler Yeats

假如我有天國的繡錦，

織有金色和銀色的光芒，

藍色、淺褐和暗色的錦飾

那是夜色、光亮和暗光，

我將把那秀錦鋪在你的腳下：

但我，貧窮的只剩夢想;

我已把我的夢鋪在你的腳下;

輕輕踩踏啊，因你踩在我的夢上。

He Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven

by William Butler Yeats

 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.
