<h3> <SPAN name="velvet"></SPAN> VELVET SHOES<br/> </h3>
<p class="poem">
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.<br/></p>
<p class="poem">
I shall go shod in silk,<br/>
And you in wool,<br/>
White as a white cow's milk,<br/>
More beautiful<br/>
Than the breast of a gull.<br/></p>
<p class="poem">
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/></p>
<p class="poem">
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/></p>
<p><br/><br/><br/></p>
