Forget Me Not

Forget me not, when I've returned to mother's arms for which I've yearned these many years, but think instead upon the joyous life I led before the time we shared adjourned. For even when life's seas have churned, there's not one storm I would have spurned, nor wave from which I would have fled. Forget me not. Some days sun warmed, some days sun burned, but from its face I've never turned, nor from the light its rays have spread because I've known what lies ahead. Embrace my death, be not concerned. Forget me not. |

The rondeau is a fifteen line poem in three verses.
Verse one consists of five lines of eight syllables each with a rhyme scheme of AABBA. Verse two consists of four lines with a rhyme scheme of AABC. The final line in verse two is the refrain, only four syllables long, which is taken from the first words of the first verse. The third consists of six lines with a rhyme scheme of AABBAC. The only line which is not eight syllables in this verse is the final line, which is the same four syllable refrain as found in the second verse.
A pivotal word in this poem is "adjourned," which means postponed, not ended or canceled. When court is adjourned, that means the session stops for the day until the next time it meets.
