  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,
  And you in wool,
  White as white cow's milk,
  More beautiful
  Than the breast of a gull.
  
  We shall walk through the still town
  In a windless peace;
  We shall step upon white down,
  Upon silver fleece,
  Upon softer than these.
  
  We shall walk in velvet shoes:
  Wherever we go
  Silence will fall like dews
  On white silence below.
  We shall walk in the snow.  less
