This is a more difficult version of the Lai. It is constructed like the lie having a five syllable couplet followed by a two syllable line, but only has an eight line stanza. The fist two lines are a refrain and are used as the last line of the verse in reverse order. The structure is:
xxxxA1
xxxxA2
xb
xxxxa
xxxxa
xb
xxxxA2
xxxxA1
"Sun Shines"
How the sun shines down
On Earth’s shinning crown.
Stunning.
Draping golden gown
Over hill and town
Stunning.
On Earth’s shinning crown
How the sun shines down.
