: If I Had Naught But What I've Found by adewpearl


If I had naught but what I've found
within the wonder of your eyes,
in all the world I'd be renowned
if I had naught but what I've found.
When word of all I have got round
I'd be the envy of the skies
if I had naught but what I've found
within the wonder of your eyes.

Author Notes
The triolet is a French repeating form that dates back to the minstrels of the Middle Ages. The poem is 8 lines in iambic tetrameter and has a rhyme scheme of ABaAabAB. The capital letters denote those lines that repeat, so that line 1 is also lines 4 and 7, and line 2 is also line 8.
naught - a quantity of no importance, nothing
