Surely you can feel it! by Irbis (critique requested)
This is an example of the fancy poetic form known as Rondeau. It's French (Occidental to be precise), as I'm sure the 'eau' indicates.

I'm familiar, I've written a couple of rondos and I've always enjoyed Mozart's Rondo alla turca. :)
The Rondeau was originally a musical form, in fact. Over time, they began writing them down, at first repeating the initial portion/refrain at each point in the writing, later, they started just writing the beginning of the refrain - which came to be the point of a Rondeau.
Rondeau and Rondo are related words, of course. The Former is a Frankish spelling, the latter Italic.
From Etymology Online :)

In music we have a form called rondo which when a musical phrase is repeated throughout the piece. I just thought I'd share that little tangent.
