In this song we have two joined which are quite unlike except that they 

 employ the same tones of a scale. The first song begins on the fifth degree of the 

 major key with the first beat of the measure. Note the two refrains, one for 

 the first verse and one for the second. The song ends on the third. 



The second song is joined to the first by a new connective, but the verse 

 proper opens on the last half of the up beat, on the fifth degree. The plan in 

 this song is slightly different. There is really only one refrain, for J is so near 

 G that it was a question which letter to give it. Whereas three-beat measures 

 were fairly common in the first song here they are quite rare and give place to 

 two-beat measures. In the first song the pair of phrases was the same for the 

 second part of the verse as for the first, but in the second song the pairs are differ- 

 ent for the two halves. In the second verse of the new song, or V. 4 as it is 

 given in the text, the first part is nearly identical with the first part of the 

 previous verse but is followed by the J refrain rather than by the G. 



The song ends on its general level, the third degree of the scale.
