If, in a book, the line of poetry is continued on the next line but indented,
and it does not begin with a capital letter, and not all the lines are like
that, I assume that it is just because of the page. With rare exceptions, poets
like e.e.cummings, for example, who uses no punctuation, a line of poetry will
begin with a capital letter even though it is not a new sentence.
As I remember. smile
