After this verse a reversion is made to the same plan as before. It hardly 

 seems necessary to give the complete analysis. There is no prelude to the song 

 but the musical structure certainly suggests the prelude type in that the first 

 verse makes use of one phrase, A, which is not introduced again, except roughly. 

 The first phrase for the following verses is taken from the first phrase of the 

 refrain while the phrases for the refrain of the subsequent verses are new material. 

 After the second verse the song is regular in form with the exception of the 

 seventh where the DF phrases are combined into a long one, but throughout 

 the song the minor variations are almost endless and almost impossible to list 

 accurately in the music without encumbering it with more signs than notes. 



The tune evidently begins on the tonic although the change of key makes a 

 decision on this point difficult, especially as the A phrase is not repeated else- 

 where. The start is made on the first beat of the measure. The melody ends 

 in F# major on the fifth degree.
