Velvet Shoes
Let us walk in the white snow
In a soundless space;
With footsteps quiet and slow,
At a tranquil pace,
Under veils of white lace.
I shall go shod in silk,

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The rain turned into snow last night.  The land is a beautiful velvety white.  </p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a poem about the snow by Elinor Wylie&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Velvet Shoes</strong></p>
<p>Let us walk in the white snow<br />
In a soundless space;<br />
With footsteps quiet and slow,<br />
At a tranquil pace,<br />
Under veils of white lace.</p>
<p>I shall go shod in silk,<br />
And you in wool,<br />
White as white cow&#8217;s milk,<br />
More beautiful<br />
Than the breast of a gull.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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. </p></blockquote>
<p>If it&#8217;s wintry white outside near you, put on your velvet shoes and enjoy a walk in the snow!</p>
<p>Lisa</p>
