They came to the place of the singing, They are here. Analysis.—The rhythm of this song is an interesting contrast to the rhythm of the song next preceding. The melody is said to have been played on a flute but the tones are not those of the flute played for the writer. The melody tones are those of the first five-toned scale in which the third and the seventh above the keynote are omitted. They played the tune once and then stopped, for they knew the girls would arrive during the day. While the boys were racing with their balls that afternoon the girls arrived. The girls were at a dis- tance from the house when the boys got home. The boys knew they were the ones who had been coming toward them. The two boys went into the house, got their flutes and went on top of the house. They noticed that the girls were brightly adorned and made this song about them. No. 36.
