Analysis.—This melody is particularly expressive of the idea con- 
tained in the words. Sixty-five per cent of the intervals are fourths, 
this interval being prominent in songs concerning motion. There 
is a taunting effect in the repetitions of the descending fourth as 
well as in the rhythm of the rhythmic unit (cf. Nos. 93 and 107). 
Considering B flat as the keynote, we observe that the third is absent 
from the melody, the only tones being B flat, C, and F.
