The villanelle is a nineteen-line poem made up of five triplets with a closing quatrain; the poem is characterized by having two refrains, initially used in the first and third lines of the first stanza, and then alternately used at the close of each subsequent stanza until the final quatrain, which is concluded by the two refrains. The remaining lines of the poem have an AB alternating rhyme.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Kumin |first=Maxine |author-link=Maxine Kumin|chapter-url=https://archive.org/details/exaltationofform00finc/page/314 |title=An Exaltation of Forms: Contemporary Poets Celebrate the Diversity of Their Art |publisher=University of Michigan Press |year=2002 |isbn=978-0-472-06725-1 |editor-last=Varnes |editor-first=Kathrine |page=[https://archive.org/details/exaltationofform00finc/page/314 314] |chapter=Gymnastics: The Villanelle}}</ref> The villanelle has been used regularly in the English language since the late 19th century by such poets as [[Dylan Thomas]],<ref>"[[Do Not Go Gentle into that Good Night]]" in {{Cite book |last=Thomas |first=Dylan |title=In Country Sleep and Other Poems |publisher=New Directions Publications |year=1952 |page=18}}</ref> [[W.
