Kyrielle - What Would I See

This is a French form that originated in the Middle Ages. It is written in two quatrains, which share the final line as a refrain. It is written with eight syllables per line and the rhyme scheme is as followed: a. a. b. B..... c. c. b. B.

“What Would I See”

If I was to rise up so high
To servery the world low that lie
What would I see that would me please?
What would I see in lands of these?

Would I see man helping man or
Would I see hatred at our deep core?
What is it in life that hold the keys?
What would I see in lands of these?
