Stanza ( 诗节 )
Stanza--- The combination of rhythm (that is, “iambic, trochaic, dactylic”, etc.), meter (that is, tetrameter, pentameter, hexameter, etc.), and rhyme scheme (for example, “a b c b”) can create certain stanzaic forms which have become accepted poetic conventions.

尘封往事Refrain
The word 'Refrain' derives from the Old French word refraindre meaning to repeat. Refrain is a phra, line, or group of lines that is repeated throughout a poem, usually after each stanza.
Refrain
The air is dark, the night is sad,
I lie sleepless and I groan.
Nobody cares when a man goes mad:
He is sorry, God is glad.
Shadow changes into bone.
Every shadow has a name;
When I think of mine I moan,
I hear rumors of such fame.
Not for pride, but only shame,
Shadow changes into bone.
When I blush I weep for joy,
And laughter drops from me like a stone:
The aging laughter of the boy
To e the ageless dead so coy.
Shadow changes into bone.
