The seguidilla is a verse form of Spanish in origin. It has seven syllable-counted lines (7,5,7,5,5,7,5), and rhymes the second and fourth, and the fifth and seventh lines (x,A,x,A,B,x,B).

Example

So quiet now, the rippleslapping on the shorescarcely disturb the silence- a whisper, no more.But who knows the powerthe growing breakers may havein another hour?
