The Rondeau Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBA AABC AABDAC| Your rondeau's tale must still be light | A |
| No bugle call to life's stern fight | A |
| Rather a smiling interlude | B |
| Memorial to some transient mood | B |
| Of idle love and gala night | A |
| - | |
| Its manner is the merest sleight | A |
| O' hand yet therein dwells its might | A |
| For if the heavier touch intrude | B |
| Your rondeau's stale | C |
| - | |
| Fragrant and fragile fleet and bright | A |
| And wing'd with whim it gleams in flight | A |
| Like April blossoms wind pursued | B |
| Down aisles of tangled underwood | D |
| Nor be too serious when you write | A |
| Your rondeau's tail | C |
