New years eve in an Irish cabin 1848.jpg

“Then when the drag hunt was all o'er, as the shades of eve stole down,

And twinkled far along the shore the lights of Caher town,

We’d, gather for the jig and reel upon the cottage floor,

While violin strains would o'er thee steal, my beautiful Filemore.”

Paddy O’Shea, Kells circa 1930
