This song has no refrain and no connectives, merely consisting of simple 

 verses. No reason was given for the repetition of the first verse. Each verse 

 is the same except for the latter part of the third, where an appropriate drop 

 of an interval of a third comes in the melody for the closing measures. After a 

 pause the third verse is repeated twice, the first time with the usual ending,' 

 the second time with the drop. There are also other minor variations. 



The tune begins on the tonic on the last half of the next-to-the-last beat 

 in the measure. It ends on the third degree in the octave below this tonic. 

 The intermediary verses end on the fifth degree midway between these two tones.
