There is not much form to this song which seems to be a string of ideas. 

 Each single, undivided verse has its own refrain, although that for the fourth 

 verse is like the first and that after the third is, in the words at least, the same 

 as the last two lines of refrain 1. The return musically in the fourth verse to 

 the ideas of the first is interesting from the formal standpoint. This may indicate 

 that the song is really composed of verses which have three subdivisions and that 

 only one complete verse and part of another have been given. Although so 

 varied and apparently formless except for the recapitulation in the fourth verse 

 this is one of the most musical songs yet encountered. The play between the 

 major and the tonic minor is very interesting and pretty and there can be no 

 doubt that the varying thirds and the changes from G# to G natural are 

 intentional. 



The song begins on the tonic, whether the tonality is regarded as major or 

 minor, and on the first beat of the measure. It ends on the same tone.
