Stay With Me (Kyrielle)

Quietly spoken with a smile,
sweet words, come here my little fawn,
won't you stay with me for awhile?
We'll make sweet love until the dawn.

Let me lay you down tonight,
don't be afraid my precious pawn.
The time and place, seem so right.
We'll make sweet love until the dawn.

A perfect chance to quench this thirst,
surrender 'fore magic is gone
and the dance of romance cursed.
We'll make sweet love until the dawn.

A Kyrielle is a French form of rhyming poetry written in quatrains (a stanza consisting of 4 lines), and each quatrain contains a repeating line or phrase as a refrain (usually appearing as the last line of each stanza). Each line within the poem consists of only eight syllables. There is no limit to the amount of stanzas a Kyrielle may have, but three is considered the accepted minimum.

Some popular rhyming schemes for a Kyrielle are: aabB, ccbB, ddbB, with B being the repeated line, or abaB, cbcB, dbdB.

Mixing up the rhyme scheme is possible for an unusual pattern of: axaZ, bxbZ, cxcZ, dxdZ, etc. with Z being the repeated line. The rhyme pattern is completely up to the poet.
