William Butler Yeats - He Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven 汉译

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.

他冀求天国的锦缎

威廉·巴特勒·叶芝

假如我有天国的锦绣绸缎，

那用金色银色的光线织就，

黑夜、白天、黎明和傍晚，

湛蓝、灰暗和漆黑的锦绣，

我就把它们铺展在你脚下；

可我，一贫如洗，只有梦；

我已将它们铺展在你脚下；

轻点，因为你踏着我的梦。
