Vocalist: Roberta Alexander
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.
Elinor Wylie
I hadn't heard this since singing it in glee club in elementary school in the early 70s, but recently purchased my very first pair of velvet shoes and I suddenly remembered this song, which I thought so beautiful even then. So grateful to find this gorgeous rendition!
