The Rondeau Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBA AABC AABDACYour 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 |
