padding-bottom: 77.27%;">

He Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven

他希冀天國的錦緞

Had I the heavens’ embroidered cloths,

若我有天國的錦緞，

Enwrought with golden and silver light,

以金銀色的光線編織，

The blue and the dim and the dark cloths

還有湛藍的夜色與潔白的晝光

of night and light and the half-light,

以及黎明和黃昏錯綜的光芒，

I would spread the cloths under your feet:

我將用這錦緞鋪展在你的腳下。

But I, being poor, have only my dreams;

可我，如此貧窮，僅僅擁有夢；

I have spread my dreams under your feet,

就把我的夢鋪展在你的腳下，

Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

輕一點啊，因為你腳踩着我的夢。
