My Heart Sings

My heart sings lines of poetry
Inside my head I dance carefree
The grass is cool between spry toes
Serene adrift a purple rose
How summer days so quickly flee

Astray a breezy melody
Stir charming notes of fantasy
As 'neath blue skies the river flows 
My heart sings

A chickadee and honeybee
In flights of sheer frivolity 
Tossing away all of my woes
As truly only heaven knows
Soul from here to eternity 
My heart sings

When I see rondeau, I respectfully take off my hat. Only rules of decency prevent me from taking off anything else when I see such a great rondeau. J'aime and fave.
