When you read this poem, let your inner voice whisper.
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 a 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.
-Elinor Wylie
From Silver Pennies by Blanche Jennings Thompson
If you find a silver penny in the snow pick it up...its the only way to enter fairyland.
