Close by the door he paused to stand,
to take his class ring off her hand.
Those who were watching did not dare speak,
as a silent tear ran down his cheek.
Through his mind all the memories ran, 
of the moments they'd laughed and stayed in the sand.
But now her eyes seemed so terribly cold,
he'd never have her again to hold.
They watched in silence as he bent down near, 
to whisper, "I love you" soft in her ear.
In touching her face he started to cry,
He put on his ring and wanted to die.
Then as the wind began to blow,
They lowered the casket into the snow.
