Pain swells in the bosom of a song.
Long before the first note of refrain,
restrains fail to cease tears from falling.
Losing you, I wish will be my gain.

C is for Conachlonn.
The Conachlonn is simply the Irish version of chained verse, examples found at Celtia.
The elements of the Conachlonn are:
-
written in any number of lines.
-
syllabic at the poet’s discretion, often 8 or 9 syllable lines
-
assonant chained rhymed, meaning the vowel sound of the last syllable of the line is repeated at the beginning of the next line.
-
written with dunadh, the beginning syllable ends the poem.
