Analysis. — This song was extremely difficult of transcription. When 

 at last the transcription was made it was found that the four renditions 

 of the song were identical except in one or two unimportant measures. 

 The accidental in the first measure was given in all the renditions 

 with good intonation. The metric unit is very slow but is clearly 

 given; the measure accent however is very slight. The rhythmic 

 feeling throughout the song is for the single count rather than for any 

 grouping of counts.
