Analysis. — This song contains no rhythmic unit, though a dotted 

 eighth followed by a sixteenth note occurs with frequency. It 

 should be noted that the lower tone of the minor thu-d was slightly 

 flatted on its first occurrence in each octave, though sung afterward 

 with correct intonation. (See Nos. 54, 129, 133, 164.) The tonic 

 chord forms the framework of the melody, with the second and sixth 

 as unaccented passing tones.
