Analysis. — The first three measures of this song contain the down- 

 ward progression G-E-C-A, comprising the minor triad with minor 

 seventh added (see Nos. 133, 147, 151, 152), the tonic chord of C 

 major being estabUshed in the ninth measure. The remainder of 

 the song is based on the tonic triad, the sixth occurring only as a 

 passing tone. The rhythm is characterized by a pecuUar division of 

 the first count of the measure. This occurs in the opening of the 

 rhythmic unit and has been noted also in Nos. 152, 157, 159, 161, 163.
