叶芝（王家新 译）

如果我拥有天国的衣裳，
织有金色的、银色的光，
这碧蓝、灰岸和黑色的织物
属于夜、白昼和晨曦，
我就将它们铺在你的脚下；
可是我却很穷，只拥有我的梦；
我只好把我的梦铺在你的脚下，
轻轻地踩，因为你踩在我的梦上。

He Wishes For The Cloths Of Heaven

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.
