A Roundel poem for Potlatch Poetry

Granny's Curtains

by damommy

I see them still, pristine and white,
those lacy curtains touched the sill
beside her chair to her delight.
I see them still.
She pulled them back, a daily drill,
providing her the perfect sight
to view the daffodils in frill
and see the moon come up at night.
Now looking out the window will
remind me so much as I write.
I see them still.

A Roundel is syllabic with 3 Stanzas, 9 lines of the same length, and two shorter refrain lines which must be identical to the beginning of the first line.
There is NO set line length but iambic tetrameter or petrameter is common.
Rhyme Scheme: abaB bab abaB,
where B is the refrain after the third line and as the final line of the poem.

The refrain must be identical with the beginning of the first line:
it may be a half-line, and rhymes with the second line.
