Poetry Challenge: Introducing the Kyrielle

The kyrielle is a French poetic form dating from medieval times. It sometimes consists of couplets, or couplets paired into a quatrain usually linked by a chorus or refrain. The chorus may be as short as one word, or take up a whole line.
Each couplet is usually four lines long, and each line consists of eight syllables. Different rhyming formats are used. If the poem is written in couplets it has an a-A, a-A format. If it is in quatrains, it might be rhymed in  a-a-b-B, c-c-b-B or a-b-a-B, c-b-c-B format, with the capital letters signifying a rhyme ending a chorus line.A kyriells should be no less than three quatrain stanzas (24 lines) long.An example of a kyrielle is below.
Have all the Dragons Gone and Died
Long ago, they lived in caves,as did mankind; we were their slavesWe feared them once, all men and IWhy ever did the dragons die?Where did they go, the dragons bold?Where did they go, when they grew old?There is no sign of them on high.Whenever did the dragons die?
When the men moved from their cavernsbuilt their castles, built their tavernsThe dragons stayed away, but whyWhy ever did the dragons die?Why did they vanish from our halls?Why did they stop, ans’wring our calls?Why did they cease their midnight flight?Whyever did the dragons die?
We cannot find them. We don’t know.Where they went, where we now must go.We miss their voices and their fireWhere did the dragons go to die?Where they have gone, so must we, too,Our lives are bonded, our souls true.When they left us, our souls did cryPray not all dragons went to die.
