This is one of the old songs. It was sung after all had assembled 

 and just before they began to dance. It is said to have been a 

 particular favorite. 



Analysis. — Attention is called to the high tones at the beginning 

 of this song. Its structure is similar to that of the preceding song. 

 The measures containing the words are slightly slower than the others, 

 to permit clearness of enunciation.
