"The Mourne Shore" / "An Traigh Mughdhorna" / "Down By the Sally Gardens" ~ in 3/4

I have suspicions I first learned this as a waltz in the land of the North, Ulster… Whether 4/4 or 3/4, it is a lovely air, including as a waltz to dance to and shmaltz up… 😎

This sounds just like the song Down By the Sally Gardens.
That’s because it is a version of the tune that was used for the poem:
