"Poet's choice," time period 1250-1492. The rondeau is a 13th-15th cen form. It changed and evolved, but as late as Machaut a simple 8-line ABaAabAB line could be used. I tried this one without regular English meter for a change.
All the dishes are washed and dried
My loving heart weeps with gladness
I returned to our home and sighed
- All the dishes are washed and dried -
Thus I know that here, love abides
And I feel no scorn or sadness
All the dishes are washed and dried
My loving heart weeps with gladness
