Here is a poem that I wrote today about how Jesus is our rest. It is based on my favourite Bible verse, The Song of Solomon 2:3, as well as 3:5 of that same book; Luke 10:38-42; and Matthew 11:28-30. It has been written in the form of a rondeau redoublé, where the four lines of Stanza 1 are repeated at the end of Stanzas 2-5. The poem then concludes with the first part of Line 1 (“That apple tree”), in order to have a repeated theme guiding the entire structure. Enjoy! Nahum.
