- Faith I'm thinking aveen of an old Halloween
T'was a night that would peruse the Danes.
When the colleens and boys stopped their frolic and noise
And sat down to be burning the banes.Those glowing nuts are emblems true.
Of what in the human life we view
The ill matched couple fret and fume
And thus in strife themselves consume
Or from each other wildly start
And with a noise from every part
But see, the happy happy pair
With genuine love and truth sincere.(continues on next page)- Collector
