Good Poem for Tomorrow

I am teaching this poem tomorrow.

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 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.

(Any comments or insights on the poem? I like it because it feels like I'm in an Ansel Adams shot of a winter field or a winter forest. But I can't get into it any deeper.)
