Analysis.—The rhythm of this song is unusually interesting. It 
will be noted that the first and third rhythmic units have the same 
division of the second.count and that the second and third units have 
the same division of the first count. The even triplet division of 
certain measures can not be considered a unit of rhythm, as a triplet 
occurs in the first measure of the first unit. This rhythmic structure 
does not vary in the several renditions of the song. Sixty-five pro- 
gressions occur, the only intervals being the fourth and the major 
third. (See Nos. 3 and 17.) The song has a compass of six tones 
and contains only the tones of the major triad.
