This is another case of wandering on and on, melodically, without any. 

 very well marked form. The writing of the song in quarter-note units is a litt^^ 

 misleading as the tempo is very rapid and the effect is like eighths and sixteenths, 

 so that in general character the song is very like the two which have already 

 been given. Were it re-written the tempo would be about 76. 



With the phrase E there seems to come an echo of the D phrase, and it is 

 here that the song may be considered to divide into two not very well-defined 

 sections. The first contains 37 and the latter 39 beats. The words also make 

 the same division. Although the form is vague, the melody is very pleasing. 

 The minor seventh upon which it ends and which is introduced here and there 

 throughout the song, is novel and effective, without being disagreeable. The 

 song begins upon the last quarter-beat of the measure on the fifth degree of the 

 scale.
