Melody: The melodic intervals are mostly conjunct, as they move step-wise. The piece seems to be in a major key.
Rhythm: The tempo of the piece is adante, and it does not really change as the piece carries on.
Pitch: The male singer has a smaller range, as he mostly stays in between the low and the high notes throughout.
Timbre: There is a male singer, and the main accompaniment seems to be an older sounding piano (I genuinely cannot figure out what this instrument is).
Dynamics: There is a decrescendo at 1:30, and the piece starts out at mezzo-forte. The piece essentially stays at a mezzo-forte throughout its entirety. The piece sounds more like a recalling, or remembering, rather than nostalgic or sad.
Texture: The piece is strophic, as it has a chorus and different voices, the chorus starting with the lyrics "Thrice happy...". The piece is secular, and in English. It is homophonic, as it has one main melody with a simple accompaniment.
