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.
