In the first verse the second phrase is lengthened by an extension so that it 

 more than equals the first phrase and the connective together. In the second 

 verse the B phrase is extended in place of the F phrase of the first verse, but 

 with the extension it does not quite equal the first phrase. Notice how the 

 refrain after the second verse is made to nearly equal that after the prelude and 

 the first verse by the addition of part of the next verse and the coda. Whether 

 this was intentional or merely accidental is purely a matter for conjecture. 

 The song begins on the last half of the last beat of the measure, and the fifth 

 degree. It ends on the third, presumably, if the end of the refrain for the first 

 and second verses may be taken as a guide.
