Analiisis. — The principal interest of this song is in the num])er 

 of minor thirds w^hich it contains. The song contains 23 intervals 

 15 (about 54 per cent) of which are minor thirds. The minor third 

 E-G is the framew^ork of the opening measures, followed by the 

 minor triad A-C-E; after a single measure of the tonic triad there 

 is a return to the minor thirds A-C and E-G, the latter forming the 

 closing interval of the song. The tones of the melody are those of 

 the fourth five-toned scale, but the tonic triad appears only in the 

 seventh measure. The song contains two rhythmic units, the count 

 divisions of both being the same, but the accent being changed in 

 the second unit. The first part of the song is based on the rhythmic 

 unit, and the latter part on the second unit.
