Guiding Stars
(Rondelet)
Time shining through
With a peaceful bliss for the mind
Time shining through
Glorified sky forever blue
Heaven and earth shall always bind
Where life’s precious moment we find
Time shining through

Rondelet
The Rondelet is a French form consisting of a single septet with two rhymes and one refrain: AbAabbA. The capital letters are the refrains, or repeats. The refrain is written in tetra-syllabic or dimeter and the other lines are twice as long - octasyllabic or tetrameter.
Refrain is the lines with the capitals. So the refrain is lines 1, 3, and 7. This is written in tetra-syllabic which is 4 syllables per line. The other lines are written in octasyllabic (8 syllables) or tetrameter (10 syllables).
