This love I feel is quite unsure
But when with you, I feel secure
Thinking and thinking what to do?
With smiles and tears I got from you
I wish this love of ours is pure.
Joys and sorrows that only torture
Make me hopeless in this venture
Where do your sweet promises go?
This love I feel is quite unsure
If you know how my love measure
Then treat me just like a treasure
Yet now you are making me blue
It seems that your love is not true
The wound that you caused has no cure
This love I feel is quite unsure
-RONDEAU-
Rondeau is a French word
for "round," the rondeau is characterized by the repeating lines of
the refrain, and the two rhyme sounds throughout. The rondeau’s form is
composed of fifteen lines, eight to ten syllables each, divided stanzaically
into a quintet, a quatrain, and a sestet. The refrain consists of the first few words or the entire
first line of the first stanza, and it recurs as the last line of both the
second and third stanzas. Two rhymes guide the music of the rondeau, whose
rhyme scheme is as follows (R representing the refrain):
Stanza 1:
