The trend of the melody is steadily downward. The upward progressions occur about midway through the melody and are followed by a descent of nine tones in four measures, every tone of the octave except one being included in this portion of the song. After an ascending third the melody descends six tones to the close. Attention is directed to the short rest in the last phrase. This is evidently a pause for breath, as a similar rest occurs in the preceding phrase of another rendition, without a rest in the final phrase. Such pauses are unusual in these songs. J. No. 63.
