DetailsRondeau... Kyrielle's ugly sister... Let's see who can do this beautiful form justice!
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). Example: Springtime Air Come follow me, I'll lead you where The days are fine and nights are fair; Where fields of clover, lush and green, Will visit you within this scene -- As March inhales the springtime air. So come with me and we shall share The freshness springtime can ensnare, As fields of flowers thus convene.-- Come follow me... Springtime's approach to which we're heir Will bring about winter's repair, Where we shall witness sights serene And glory in that to be seen. No other season can compare. Come follow me...
