Jonathan Howard Biography

PART ONE

‘Twas down the street one gloomy night,
A lovely chill of air;

A sky of scarlet: trees there – it to hide,
Where winds of might blow round me all the night;
This is the nature in which I reside –
The natural feeling gives me most delight.

And said that she forgave the grudge that died
Long tides ago; this moment I have dreamt

Dare not tell us a lie;
For with us, ‘mate’, you cannot play,
Game not – lest you will die.
