Every 10th word

Lean out of the window,
    Goldenhair,
I hear singing
    A merry air.

My book was closed,
    I read no more,
Watching the fire dance
     the floor.

I have left my book,
    I left my room,
For I heard you singing
     the gloom.

Singing and singing
    A merry air,
out of the window,
    Goldenhair.
