Coda 



This song was one of the most puzzhng to define as to nreasures, for the 

 words continually threw the accent in unexpected places. There are many 

 places where the placing of the measure bars may be called in question, but 

 after repeated tests the present arrangement seemed as satisfactory as could 

 be obtained. 



The song begins on the fifth degree of the scale and on the first beat of the 

 measure. It ends on the same tone which is the general level. The phrasing 

 appears fairly regular but in reality it is not, if one examines the actual number 

 of beats involved.
