When I feel thirst from scorching heat,
then find myself a shady tree
that offers luscious fruit to eat,
I know the Lord's been good to me.
While strolling through a purple field
to see the clover feed the bee
whose labors will sweet honey yield,
I know the Lord's been good to me.
I've known hard times when hope seemed short,
but when warm friends have heard my plea
and offered up their kind support,
I know the Lord's been good to me.

Author Notes
The kyrielle is a quatrain poem in which each quatrain ends with a refrain. Each line is 8 syllables long, and the poem rhymes, but the rhyme scheme is up to the poet. I've chosen ABAB CBCB DBDB. The number of verses is also optional, but should be at least 3.
