Velvet Shoes by Randall Thompson

Lyrics:

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 the white cow’s milk

More beautiful

Than the wings of a gull

We shall walk in velvet shoes

Wherever we go

Silence will fall like dews

On white silence below

We shall walk in the snow
