there peggy was dancing with dan
while maureen the lead was melting,
to prove how their fortunes ran
with the cards could nancy dealt in;
there was kate, and her sweet-heart will,
in nuts their true-love burning,
and poor norah, though smiling still
she'd missed the snap-apple turning. On the festival of hallow eve. Object Type: painting. Date: 1833. Medium: oil on canvas. Collection: Private collection. Snap-Apple Night globalphilosophy
