History

The Cape

Gale

From:http://www.panoramio.com
I can year it howling approaching from the south
A pack of wolves with their master, the Gale  whistling
 his wife shrieking her delight over the onslaught on the  Cape of storms
 I can swear I hear the bones rattling in the cupboards of parliament
And the long dead are rising from their watery graves
 in pirate frigates and slave schooners
the slave master drumming rhythmically
booming his dreadful smoky rum breath
from Devils Peak 
 known as the winter of discontent
Whispered in taverns and Christian tents
the day of hell
 the Zulu fell
