''A Maid and Muse, Her Name Is Rose,'' A Double Triolet

I.

A maid and muse, her name is Rose;
which inspires me to write this song
that trills a sound which softly flows.
A maid and muse, her name is Rose;
a ray of hope who comes and goes
when the time's neither right nor wrong.
A maid and muse, her name is Rose;
which inspires me to write this song.


II.

The song, which pipes from heart to heart,
that trills a sound which softly flows
in ways that make Pierian art;
the song, which pipes from heart to heart,
brings us closer though we're apart:
a maid and muse, her name is Rose
(the song, which pipes from heart to heart,
that trills a sound which softly flows).

Lady Courtaire
This seriously touched my heart. I find the triolet to be an incredibly difficult form, and you've handled it brilliantly. The lines flow and trill as sweetly and harmoniously as the muse and her name. Thank you for this.
