There’s magic when the moon’s at play
the woodlands come to life
with lutes and flutes
among tree roots
the woodlands come to life
A happy land, this forest fief,
it truly suits
this tiny clan
down to a man
from head right down to boots
They came, this tiny caravan,
and formed a masterplan
They came to stay
to live their way
and formed a masterplan
So there it was their life began
There’s magic when the moon’s at play
contentment’s rife
no daily strife
There’s magic when the moon’s at play

Author Notes
Refrain: L2 is repeated as L5 in each stanza
The Roundabout is a four stanza poem, with each stanza consisting of 5 lines. The poem is written in iambic and the lines have 4 feet, 3 feet, 2 feet, 2 feet and 3 feet respectively. The rhyme scheme is aBccB/bCddC/cDaaD/dAbbA.
As the example poem shows, the "A" rhymes are different from the "a" rhymes. I don't know why they simply didn't give them a different letter.
