Functional analysis for verse

Hi all, this is a re-analysis of the harmonic function of the verse, which can be divided into two phrases.

The harmonic function of the first phrase(Bars 15 to 18):

T – D – T – D – T - It seems like a tonic expansion.

The second phrase of the verse (Bars 19-22):

T - D - T - PD - D - T

The first group of T - D - T can be taken as a tonic expansion, hence becoming:
T - D - PD - T
