Brought over from Cygnis Insignis' Talk page:

"As to gaps: second and third lines of the first stanza have same indentation and need only one gap (as per here and elsewhere—although the last line of first stanza is aligned left elsewhere...and some renderings have no indentation at all)... [snip] I do not believe the fourth stanza is "inset" like the second... For two reasons: First, because the text in the original image is aligned as far left on the page with respect to the header (not that this is a 'natural' indication, however,—for if you look at other poems in this volume that continue on to the next page, most are centered on the page... It is merely 'lucky' that it is aligned left in this case). Second, based on the poem as it is rendered here on pp. 101 & 102 of another text. The third & fourth stanzas also have the same 'alignment.'" Londonjackbooks (talk) 04:18, 15 August 2011 (UTC)Reply
