Retourne

Like so many other French forms, the retourne is all about repetition.
It contains four quatrains (four-line stanzas), and each line has eight syllables.
The trick is that the first stanza's second line must also be the second stanza's first line,
the first stanza's third line is the third stanza's first, and the first stanza's fourth line
is the fourth stanza's first. Retournes do not have to rhyme.
