The Trine is French for three each, three planets aligned.

Aabbccabc is assigned.

Isosyllabic, French Heroic is preferred

Alexandrian, yea twelve syllables is inferred.

Some may use fewer sounds as long as it’s in rhyme

But still a fine passageway to make hope deferred.

Try it yourself. Just make sure that you have the time.
