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.
