A French verse form of four quatrains that repeats Entire lines in a strict pattern 1234, 2546, 5767, 7183
PANTOUM
1 Sweetly as she encompasses me now 2 Among the autumns brown tints of gold 3 While her smile, all that memories allow. 4 In those dreams that once foretold.
2 Among the autumns brown tints of gold 5 The eagle his gaze could not compare, 4 In those dreams that once foretold 6 From his tower flying, drawn to her.
5 The eagle his gaze could not compare 7 So search well now the measure. 6 From his tower, flying drawn to her 8 In this firmament, I’m lost forever.
7 So search well now the measure 1 Sweetly as she encompasses me now 8 In this firmament I’m lost forever 3 While her smile, all that memories allow.
