{{Poem quote
|text=<!-- or: 1= -->The sun was shining on the sea,
Shining with all his might:
He did his very best to make
The billows smooth and bright--
And this was odd, because it was
The middle of the night.
|char=Tweedledum and Tweedledee
|sign=Lewis Carroll
|source=<!-- or 4= -->''Through the Looking-Glass''
|title=<!-- or: 3= -->"The Walrus and The Carpenter"
|style=<!-- standard CSS style goes here -->
}}

The sun was shining on the sea,
Shining with all his might:
He did his very best to make
The billows smooth and bright--
And this was odd, because it was
The middle of the night.

Note that while the version above using {{Blockquote}} may appear to work in some browsers, it does not do so consistently in all of them. Use <poem>...</poem> – or a template like {{Poem quote}} that implements it – around material that requires that whitespace formatting be preserved as in the original, such as poems and interlinear glosses. Due to limitations of how MediaWiki parses wikimarkup and HTML, attempts to do this by just inserting blank lines and extra spaces will not work. This is true of all block elements. (Technical note: Although {{Poem quote}} uses the Tag:#poem markup rather than using <poem>, it is functionally the same.)
