If I had the heavens embroidered robe
With gold and silver thread of light,

With light, darkness, gloom, light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet,
But poor me: my treasures - in dreams,
So my dreams under your feet;
Tread carefully, you tread on dreams

And yet there beauty lay;

And did such pleasure take;
