Analysis.—In melodic structure this song comprises three parts: 
The first (3 measures) is based on the major triad B—D sharp—F sharp; 
the second (1 measure) on the minor triad G sharp—B—D sharp; and 
the third (4 measures) on the chord B—D sharp—F sharp—B, the 
accented tones following the descending intervals of this chord. The 
song is thus seen to be strongly harmonic in character. No interval 
larger than a minor third occurs in the song, and about 58 per cent 
of the progressions are whole tones. (See No. 28.) The song has a 
compass of 13 tones and contains the entire octave except the seventh. , 
Repetitions of the rhythmic unit comprise practically the entire song.
