He says this: "Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths, Enwrought with gold 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."
Sambungnya lagi, "Jika aku memiliki sutera sulaman syurga, dijalin cahaya emas dan perak, Kain biru, suram, dan gelap, daripada malam, siang, dan petang, Akan ku bentangkan kain ini di bawah kakimu: Malangnya, kerana miskin, aku hanya mampu bermimpi; Ku bentang impianku di bawah kakimu; Hati-hati melangkah kerana langkahan itu atas impianku."
