天錦

葉茲(青蛇譯)

假如宇宙上蒼賜我金光銀線
我願用它們編織天堂的錦緞
那蔚藍、潑墨和昏幽的色彩
是光明、黑暗與茫然的詠嘆
然而一貧如洗的我唯有春夢
我已將心中的柔情化作紅毯
愛人啊你就在上面纖足翩然
猶如你的仙姿在我夢中旋轉

“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.
