Analysis. — In structure this song differs widely from the one next 

 preceding. Instead of beginning on the twelfth and ending on the 

 tonic, it begins on the dominant above the tonic and ends on the 

 dominant below the tonic; it is melodic instead of harmonic; it begins 

 in double, instead of in triple, time; and instead of the simple tones 

 of the tonic triad we find a tone-material which has been but rarely 

 noted. The melody contains only the first, second, fifth, and sixth 

 tones of the major key. This tone-material is found in only five other 

 songs of the entire series (see No. 53). Other songs said to have 

 been composed or sung by women are Nos. 31, 39, 40, 112, 127, 151, 

 177.
