The song is melodic in form and begins with an ascending fifth; this is somewhat unusual. The tones are those of the second five-toned scale, and about two-thirds of the progressions are downward. No rhythmic unit appears, but the song as a whole is especially rhythmic in Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Smithsonian Institution.
