/*
"Vain as the passing gale, my crying;
  Though lightning-struck, I must live on;
I know, at heart, there is no dying
  Of love and ruined hope alone.

<tb>

"The very wildness of my sorrow
  Tells me I yet have innate force;
My track of life has been too narrow,
  Effort shall trace a broader course."

Thought breaks

The Poetry section of the Formatting Guidelines says:

If a row of dots appears in a poem, treat this as a thought break.

Some project managers prefer to use an ellipsis, and will express that preference in the project comments. Ignore a stanza's leading quotation mark when indenting its other lines. (Don't indent them by an extra space.)
