My true love (Rondelet)

by Tim Bradshaw   Dec 16, 2005


My true love,
Such a sweet and innocent smile,
My true love,
I feel as if you're from above,
We have been as one for a while,
My thoughts as you walk down the isle,
My true love.

The Rondelet is a French form consisting of a single septet with two rhymes and one refrain: AbAabbA. The capital letters are the refrains, or repeats. The refrain is written in tetra-syllabic or dimeter and the other lines are twice as long - octasyllabic or tetrameter.
