The song Nora from Sean O'Casey's The Plough and the Stars.

Lyrics

Oh the violets were scenting the woods, Nora

Displaying their charm to the bee

When I first said I loved only you, Nora

And you said you loved only me

The chestnut blooms gleamed through the glade, Nora

A robin sang loud from a tree

When I first said I loved only you, Nora

And you said you loved only me

The golden-robed daffodils shone, Nora

And danced in the breeze on the lea

When I first said I loved only you, Nora

And you said you loved only me

The trees, birds and bees sang a song, Nora

Of happier transports to be

When I first said I loved only you, Nora

And you said you loved only me

Our dreams they have never come true, Nora

Our hopes they were never to be

Since I first said I loved only you, Nora

And you said you loved only me

Since I first said I loved only you, Nora

And you said you loved only me

For those who don't know Nora is a character from the Plough and the Stars, a great novel about a tenement house in Dublin during 1916, Nora is the wife of Jack Who used to sing her this song, but he died in the rising. A great song for a great book.
