Analysis —The melodic material of this song is scanty, comprising 
only the major triad and second, and the chief interest of the song is 
in its rhythm. This is given with most clearness in the third rendi- 
tion, from which the transcription is made. Comparison of the three 
occurrences of the rhythmic unit shows the addition of a triplet in 
the second occurrence, and a syncopation and an eighth rest in the 
third occurrence. These are slight changes, but were given with dis- 
tinctness and add to the interest of the song.
