原文

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. 

胡子 译

若我拥有天堂的绸缎，

必织上金色银色的彩光，

这蓝蓝、淡淡、缁缁的绸缎

带着冷色、暖亮、朦朦光芒，

我愿把这绸缎铺在你玉足之下：

可我一无所有，除了怀中梦想；

我把我的梦铺展在你来的路上；

请轻轻踩着吧，这样你可踏入我的梦乡
