The Wood Pewee's continuous song is governed by the same 

 principles. As I first heard it, it was rendered as follows : 



1st theme. Answering theme. 1st theme 2d theme repeated 



repeated. (in character). 



' = 108. _._ jo. 



sei^E^

The notes marked a and b^ the closing notes of the second and 

 fourth lines, have the same character as those in the corresponding 

 positions in the human ballad given. 



In the many times I have heard this song there have been 

 numerous variations, such as 



92.
