英国人最爱的英语诗歌:他希冀天国的锦缎

padding-bottom: 77.27%;">

He Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven

他希冀天国的锦缎

Had I the heavens’ embroidered cloths,

若我有天国的锦缎，

Enwrought with golden and silver light,

以金银色的光线编织，

The blue and the dim and the dark cloths

还有湛蓝的夜色与洁白的昼光

of night and light and the half-light,

以及黎明和黄昏错综的光芒，

I would spread the cloths under your feet:

我将用这锦缎铺展在你的脚下。

But I, being poor, have only my dreams;

可我，如此贫穷，仅仅拥有梦；

I have spread my dreams under your feet,

就把我的梦铺展在你的脚下，

Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

轻一点啊，因为你脚踩着我的梦。
