<h2>A DEEP-SWORN VOW</h2>
<div class="poem"><div class="stanza">
<span class="i0">Others because you did not keep<br/></span>
<span class="i0">That deep-sworn vow have been friends of mine;<br/></span>
<span class="i0">Yet always when I look death in the face,<br/></span>
<span class="i0">When I clamber to the heights of sleep,<br/></span>
<span class="i0">Or when I grow excited with wine,<br/></span>
<span class="i0">Suddenly I meet your face.<br/></span></div>
