Pink lightly stains the eastern sky,
its loveliness a whispered sigh,
white turtledoves begin to coo
and sip a drop of morning dew.
Clear droplets on green blades of grass,
reflect the bumblebees that pass,
and gleam as butterflies flit through
to sip a drop of morning dew.
My garden's charm envelops me,
a peaceful, warm complacency,
sweet inspiration comes anew,
with sips from drops of morning dew.
Pink lightly stains the eastern sky
and sips a drop of morning dew.

A Kyrielle Sonnet consists of 14 lines (three rhyming quatrain stanzas and a non-rhyming couplet). Just like the traditional Kyrielle poem, the Kyrielle Sonnet also has a repeating line or phrase as a refrain (usually appearing as the last line of each stanza). Each line within the Kyrielle Sonnet consists of only eight syllables. French poetry forms have a tendency to link back to the beginning of the poem, so common practice is to use the first and last line of the first quatrain as the ending couplet. This would also re-enforce the refrain within the poem. Therefore, a good rhyming scheme for a Kyrielle Sonnet would be:
AabB, ccbB, ddbB, AB -or- AbaB, cbcB, dbdB, AB.
