Measures 6-24 present The Last Rose of Summer, marked Larghetto and con espressione. The upper melody moves through held notes, dotted phrases, short ornamented replies and paired notes above lower broken-chord figures.

Measures 25-42 introduce Robin Adair, marked Andante. Paired upper notes and chords alternate with dotted replies, grace notes and short rising and falling figures above lower bass notes and chords. The phrases return with changes of register, fuller harmonies and a brief arpeggiated interruption.

Measures 43-54 extend the music with higher ornamented figures and quieter chord responses. An elegante passage rises and falls through chromatic notes before lusingando figures lead into a softer close. A held upper note and a dolce ornamented reply move above lower arpeggios, followed by quiet final chords and a held harmony marked Fine.
