Analysis. — Tliis is a strange melody. The tonality of the song as 

 a whole is minor, the tone most satisfactory to the ear as a keynote, 

 being C sharp, yet the major third occurs six times and the minor 

 third only twice. A wailing effect is given by the prominence of the 

 minor second, which appears 18 times, comprising 46 per cent of the 

 intervals. It will be recalled that this interval is entirely absent 

 from a large majority of these songs. All the tones of the octave 

 except the fourth are found in the melody, the seventh being sharped 

 as an accidental. Two renditions were recorded. In both the acci- 

 dental was clearly given, but the intonation as a whole was somewhat 

 wavering, owing doubtless in part to the large proportion of semitone 

 progressions. 



Mrs. La^^Tence said that her aunt lost another son in addition to 

 Wliite Butterfly, and that she sang tliis song as she went around 

 the village, mourning his death:
