Analysis.—The transcription of this song is from the last portion of the record and was sung twice, the repetition being excellent. There is an urgency in the opening phrase and a pleasing variety in the latter portion. These are interesting in connection with the words. Like the song next following, this contains only the tones of a minor triad and fourth.
