The Wedding Rings

Frozen solid in a block of ice A wedding ring shines bright The blizzard came out of nowhere Trapping her in the night Three days later they find her body Frozen from her head to her toes A stranger all alone lost in the snow A woman that nobody knows They brought her body back to town And laid her in the stable What happened next was miraculous Some say only a fable Weeks went by that turned to months But her body would never decay She looked the same as the day she was found Until that faithful day A farmer in the spring was plowing his field And the bones of a man was found A wedding ring was glistening in the sun Where he laid on top of the ground They brought the bones back to town And laid them beside his bride As soon as the two were together again Her skin became broken and dried They buried them both beneath an oak That stood between two springs When no names were found to write on the cross They mounted their wedding rings
