Villanelle [vil-uh-NELL]: A poem in a fixed form, consisting of five three-line stanzas followed by a quatrain and having only two rhymes. In the stanzas following the first, the first and third lines of the first stanza are repeated alternately as refrains. They are the final two lines of the concluding quatrain.
NOTE: The villanelle gives a pleasant impression of simple spontaneity, as in Edwin Arlington Robinson's The House on the Hill.
(Compare rondeau, rondel, rondelet)
