Let us walk in the white snow <br />In a soundless space; <br />With footsteps quiet snd slow, <br />At a tranquil pace, <br />Under veils of white lace. <br /> <br />I shall go shod in silk, <br />And you in wool, <br />White as white cow's milk, <br />More beautiful <br />Than the breast of a gull. <br /> <br />We shall walk through the still town <br />In a windless peace; <br />We shall step upon white down, <br />Upon silver fleece, <br />Upon softer than these. <br /> <br />We shall walk in velvet shoes: <br />Wherever we go <br />Silence will fall like dews <br />On white silence below. <br />We shall walk in the snow.<br /><br />Elinor Morton Wylie<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/velvet-shoes/
