The angels dance on moonbeams bright
in softest glow you'll see their light,
set minds' at rest in sleep so free
with promise of tranquility
Set wand'ring on the path of dreams
caressing thoughts or so it seems,
they weave spells of serenity
with promise of tranquility.
Their prayers in gentle tones they keep
in realms of love your dreams they sweep,
they banish all the dark debris
with promise of tranquility.
The angels dance on moonbeams bright
With promise of tranquility.

Kyrielle Sonnet
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.
