A Poem for Tuesday

It finally got true Minnesota cold today.  I think we have hit our high of 6 degrees.  There's still not much snow, but here's a beautiful poem about it anyway.

Velvet Shoes Elinor Wylie 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.
