Wanderer of the dreamy land
Travelling through the reveries
Lost and found in the memories
A vagabond in the woodland,
Fill the cracks beside railway tracks
In the light rests sparkling on sand
Sun-kissed nomadic treasuries
Wanderers return to their land.

The Octain, full name Octain Refrain, is a form of poetry developed by English poet Luke Prater in December 2010.
It comprises eight lines as two tercets and a couplet, either as octosyllables (counting eight syllables per line), or as iambic tetrameter, whichever is preferable. Trochaic tetrameter also acceptable. The latter yields a more propulsive rhythm, as opposed to iambs, which lilt.
As the name suggests, the first line is a refrain, repeated as the last (some variation of refrain acceptable). Rhyme-scheme as follows -
A-b-b
a-c/c-a
b-A
