Complaint, is a poem that laments or protests unrequited love or tells of personal misfortune, misery, or injustice. I chose lament – unrequited love: rhymed – aabB ccbB ddbB. B is the refrain,
Left alone in bitter query
Sorrow making my life weary
I feel so sad, and it lies deep
Oh how my heart does weep
–
Curly hair adorns his crown
His beauty is well renowned
Sadness into my heart does creep
Oh how my heart does weep
–
His radiance blushes on my face
There is no winner in this race
Water from my eyes does seep
Oh how my heart does weep
