Analysis.—This melody <strong>com</strong>prises an introduction <strong>and</strong> two long periods without<br />
the recurrence <strong>of</strong> the first period which characterizes many <strong>of</strong> these songs.<br />
The same count divisions occur in both periods, but no phrase is indicated as a<br />
rhythmic unit. About three-fourths <strong>of</strong> the progressions are whole tones. The<br />
third above the keynote occurs only once <strong>and</strong> is unaccented, but the sixth occurs<br />
frequently. The song is classified as major in tonality.<br />
The words <strong>of</strong> the following song were not translated but were said<br />
to be about the clouds <strong>and</strong> the fog.
