It was in September Canzonetta

It was in September

It was in September
That he met his fate.
On a date, he would always remember
He knew she was his soul mate

It was truly love at first sight.
With love blazing from her eyes.
She soon made things right.
Her love was such a pleasant surprise.

For eight long years
She had haunted his nightmares
When they met he had no more fears,
And no more tears.

That date she entered his life
Was the happiest day,
Becoming his wife
Nothing more to say.

The Canzonetta or Canzonet and Canzonetta Prime are variations of the Canzone with a more definitive frame. It is a 16th-century Italian secular composition often with pastoral, irreverent, or erotic themes.
The elements of the Canzonetta or Canzonet are:
1. at least 2 octaves, made up of 2 quatrains of alternating rhyme.
2. written with no fixed meter or line length.
3. composed with a refrain, repeated in L8 of each octave.
4. rhymed, ababcdcD, efefgdgD.
5. is called a Canzonetta Prime when the rhyme scheme is abAB cbcB dbdbebeB. In this rhyme scheme, there is often a repeated rhyme word to strengthen the repetition, but it is not required.
