Close by the door he passed to stand,
as he took the class ring off her hand.

All who were watching did not dare speak,
as a silent tear ran down his cheek.

All through his mind memories ran,
of the times they laughed hand in hand.

Now her eyes looked very cold,
he would never see her again, never to hold.

All was silenet as he bent down near
to whisper, "I love you," into her ear.

In touching her face he started to cry,
as he put on his class ring and wanted to die.

The gusty wind began to blow
as they lowered her casket down through the snow.
