Midnight Rose

What bloom is there more fairer grows
to bless my dream than midnight rose
in comfort earth neath darkened skies
sung angel voice and lullabies.

My heart should beat a petal's sway
wrapped softly round this rich bouquet
tis heaven blown my spirit flies
sung angel voice and lullabies.

I have no words or song so fair
as whispered rose through midnight care
what bloom so born could grace these eyes
sung angel voice and lullabies.

Author notes

Kyrielle

A Kyrielle is a French form of rhyming poetry written in quatrains (a stanza consisting of 4 lines),
and each quatrain contains a repeating line or phrase as a refrain (usually appearing as the last
line of each stanza). Each line within the poem consists of only eight syllables. There is no limit
to the amount of stanzas a Kyrielle may have, but three is considered the accepted minimum.

Some popular rhyming schemes for a Kyrielle are: aabB, ccbB, ddbB, with B being the repeated
line, or abaB, cbcB, dbdB.
