Description
This element contains a single stanza of a poem (see
<poem>). It should be used when more than one stanza of a poem is presented:
<stanza>
<poemline>So, although unlisted in atlas or text-book,</poemline>
<poemline>Her Garden is easy to find. In no time</poemline>
<poemline>one reaches the gait over which is written</poemline>
<poemline>large: MAKE PEACE NOT WAR</poemline>
</stanza>
But this element is not required and is undesirable if a single stanza is presented (and in this case, the
<poemline> element is repeated directly within the
<poem> element).
