Analysis. — The words imply that the heavens are secured as a 

 defense by the singer. In all the renditions of this song the drum is 

 struck after the melody tone is sung. This gives an effect of great 

 irregularity to the performance and also shows the independence of 

 vocal and instrumental expression. The rhythmic unit, which is 

 accurately repeated, occurs 11 times. The double measures vary in 

 length and apparently serve as resting places for the voice.
