The song is a solo voice with piano accompaniment. The singer is singing in English so it is not sacred. The piece is in 6/8 time and is at a moderate speed as heard in the piano. There is a lot of repartition in the piano but the voice repeats little if anything at all. The voice also has a large degree of dynamic contrast verging from piano and then jumping to forte like at 20-23.
