Songs of Frost

By Michael Collins

This book is a journal or diary of a man who rescues an infant from a psychotic father who determined the child to be his threat and murdered the mother with poison while intentionally hiding his crimes from his family. Andreas Munch rescued the infant in question and raised another mans child from infancy and helped him develop the skills to survive and thrive in such a hostile world. It shows poetic sonnets from key points in the life of Andreas, which brings him toward comprehension and gratefulness for the blessing of raising this child of such sorrow and trauma. Upon facing life challenges, he must face struggles the same as any other wavering soulby day showing strength and courage, but at night wallowing in his anxiety and pain. His wife died very young, leaving him with two sons to raise. He felt bitterness at first, but his first son died falling off cliff and second son died from frigid cold exposure. His trauma complete, he turned to help and work for his nation. Upon travels through France, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, then Russia in service to a dear friend given no choice, she requests him to raise her son as his own, for she knew her death was imminent. Similar to my mothers mother was Vena Oneida Jehle Alexandrovich Romanov Walters, undenounced to anyones knowledge, her father being Sergei Jehle Alexandrovich, and her mother, princess of Hess, was murdered when Vena was age four. Pauline Catherine Bonaparte Jehle Alexandrovich Romanov was murdered after childbirth by poison. Venas mother was murdered, pushed down a staircase to keep her silent of her lineage. All forgotten except one photograph. Sergei was known as Rudolphus Walters, but in another photo G. D. McGinnis. Multiple identities discovered for these men who migrated and created so many families across Mississippi, Missouri, Alabama, Louisiana, Kansas, Arkansas.

The book is a tribute to Andreas Munchs life. Without him, I would not exist.

Songs of Frost

To my lineage:

Andreas Munch;

Nikolai Jehle Alexandrovich Romanov

Paul George Jehle Alexandrovich Romanov

Phillip Edward Jehle Alexandrovich Romanov

(born June 22, 1874;

died January 22, 1947);

Viola Ellen Jehle Alexandrovich Romanov Collins

mother to my father, Arthur Raymond Collins

(born 1943; died April 20, 2011)

from whom I inherited the Sorg og Trost by A. Munch Sixth Edition, published in Copenhagen, 1891,

after Andreas Munch’s death in 1884

This book was composed of Andreas’s journal entries from 1851-1859, when he was given no option but escape with an infant upon the execution order of the child’s mother, Catherine. 13 languages contained within mainly Norwegian.

Some countries, called him the kidnapped prince; however, he lived a very nice life without the headaches of the monarchy raising him; my ancestor’s fairy tales have no happy ending.

I never spent a dime. DNA will either confirm my suspicions or name me another pretender. I Inherited the account into my name in 1973, but it was seized in 1983 because of non-access. I never had a dime, never will. Governments would topple, and banks would fail before I see a penny.

Special thanks to Catherine Asselman, who provided the layout.

For whom Cares

M embers with the same heavy h eart!

To you, I turn my songs.

As you find, your circle is great.

In the cabin and on the throne.

The viewer has a lot of trouble.

See how a second battle was falling.

Believe me, it felt easy.

My heart was closed.

My mind was stupid.

O nly slowly I found my words, painf ully.

Lately, I smell my passion flower.

What bitter hour, one by one, brought me here?

In a crowd, are we together?

In her memory, I thought of her.

Liked and loved dearly, we understood.

My mind in battle for our losses.

You can see your own clearly.

I am on my way to the gate of hope.

I have not won anymore!

He, who took all the songs.

Should help us to the harbor of sorrow!

Grief

F ellow Wanderers who grieve, it is Heavy Time! Alas, I E xist.

Grief and Sorrow. The mourners have broken hearts.

Therefore, I harden my Heart. Father, Faith I pray.

My chest was closed. My agony was numb. My heart ached.

O nly slowly did my pain come forth. I have p eace.

On memorial, Charlotte; my love died.

My mind, I fight for Charlotte.

Layed upon Charlotte’s Tomb Stone.

I see clear in mourning veil.

When grief hit of lost hope! Port Alas my anger has won!

Oh God, he took all the grief I embrace.

Help us onto faith’s garden!

Complaint & Struggle

I have tears, the pain in my belly brought my golden pr ayer.

Upon your grave my place of pain. My chest bowed down.

Once solid disrupt but no kingdom its agony will relieve.

M y heart still so fervently yearns & bleed at the lost me mory!

But no tears, stops the burden.

My heart! Easy it then, for your troubles!

Tax my tears.

Y ou handsome so often has sounded for my love.

Oh, using me tear out my own grief!

Alas friend, I fear that you are silenced.

Anguish that will devour my soul and understanding.

Can be turned off in my last slumber.
