He Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven
Had I 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.
天国的嫁衣
如有天孙锦,
愿为君铺地。
镶金复镶银,
明暗日夜继。
家贫锦难求,
唯有以梦替。
践履慎轻置,
吾梦不堪碎。
