a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable.

ok yeah so you're on the right track. first, do you have answer choices? and also, what did you interpret the meaning of this writing to be ?

hymnplayer · Answer

no answer choices, and I believe the poem is talking about how they are taking there time not worrying about anything.

mxddi3 · Answer

So i read it as they were just trying to be careful in this perfect, carefree world. 
so if i give you an example of a metaphor here and explain it, you need to do the same with another.

So one example from here that I saw as a metaphor was 
"Let us walk in the white snow" White symbolizes purity so I took it as them walking in this pure world.

do you think you can find another based off that?

hymnplayer · Answer

" we shall walk in velvet shoes" velvet is rich material and they are taking there time looking around and sellin the roses?

mxddi3 · Answer

that's good ! 
they are in no hurry at all, yes. They are taking their time and just living in the moment. also, a quick note, velvet is a gentle material and i see it as they are being gentle to this innocent world in which they live.

make sense?

hymnplayer · Answer

yep, thanks!
