    There should be a comma after "often", and the "Which" should be in lower-case.

    it's a poem, so each stroph has its capital...and there is no comma in between these two...

    Maybe there's not comma needed there.

    However, it's not a poem anymore if you add these lines as sentences to Tatoeba. So the capitalization should follow the normal rules instead of the special rules for poems.

    that is debatable and has been debated before, as far as I can remember, and proved inconclusive.
    I suggest you reopen the debate on the wall...

    Tatoeba is a sentences database, not a poetry database.
    Please, correct your capitalization in consideration that these sentences are mainly for the use of none native speakers or people trying to learn a language.

    I'm not at your orders, Sir.
    This has to be debated and you don't decide alone.
    I can produce many an example where other contributers capitalised verses. I can't see how I sjhould be made an exception.
    Ask Scott, to start with...

    Thanks. I didn't know this was pointed out before. I should try to find that old discussion. If you can find it faster, thanks. Anyways, this should be discussed.
    Oh, and of course you should not be the exception, sacredceltic. Anyone should use he correct capitalization in their sentences. If you can bring up other user's examples, feel free to do so.

    I will certainly NOT make an excuse for you, s.c., that's why I asked you to change your sentence in the first place. I would have said the same thing to Scott, CK, al_ex_an_der or anyone else. It just happened that I've never seen anyone using this practice before. Stop being so egocentric.

    In the meantime I have raised the question on the Wall and formed another complaint about your verbal misbehaviour. You're rally trying hard taking your chance.
