Let's fly away (Rondeau)

by Ingrid   Jan 6, 2008


Let's fly away together, my sweet love
To that place we always dreamed of
Our tears and suffering left in the past
To rejoice in a love forever to last
Come be with me, my turtle dove

So many years spent in agony and pain,
searching for love and indeed not in vain.
Be my forever sunshine, my angel of love
Let's fly away....

So unexpectedly the sun started shining
when you walked into my life, smiling...
You broke through my walls and won me
Swept me off my feet and made me see
you truly love me and left my heart singing
Let's fly away....

Rondeau
A Rondeau is a French form, 15 lines long, consisting of three stanzas: a quintet, a quatrain, and a
sestet with a rhyme scheme as follows: aabba aabR aabbaR. Lines 9 and 15 are short - a
refrain (R) consisting of a phrase taken from line one. The other lines are longer (but all of the
same metrical length).
