I’ll hold her in my heart forever,
one trial I must endeavor.
Sadness carried too long.
Although it will leave me never,
feelings that I will not sever.
She’ll always be my song.
Author's Notes/Comments:
Rime Couée
This is a French form consisting of two rhymes.
First there is a rhyming couplet of eight syllables per line,
then a third and shorter line, followed by
a second couplet, also of 8 syllables per line, that rhymes with the first one
and the sixth, shorter line that rhymes with the third line.
This gives us a suggested pattern :
x x x x x x x a
x x x x x x x a
x x x x x b
x x x x x x x a
x x x x x x x a
x x x x x b
So sweet <3
