There once was an Indian brave by the name of Yellow Hand

He fell in love with the maiden known as White Sand.

They vowed their love would last forever more

then came the day that they had waited for
 
Yellow Hand brought her a golden feather
White Sands said a prayer for good weather
The ceremonial dance grew loud and strong
Then Yellow Hand began their wedding song.

And suddenly the snow came swirling down
they were lost, the trail could not be found.

They never returned from paradise

they went to their places in the skies.
And the old ones still say when the snowflakes fly
if you listen close, you will hear him cry.
