|<poem>
Night gathers, and now my watch begins.
It shall not end until my death.
I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children.
I shall wear no crowns and win no glory.
I shall live and die at my post.
I am the sword in the darkness
I am the watcher on the walls.
I am the fire that burns against the cold,
the light that brings the dawn,
the horn that wakes the sleepers,
the shield that guards the realms of men.
I pledge my life and honor to the Night's Watch,
for this night and all the nights to come.
</poem>||<poem>
Night gathers, and now my watch begins.
Night gathers, and now my watch begins.
It shall not end until my death.
It shall not end until my death.
Line 19: Line 40:
for this night and all the nights to come.
