This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote Alfred, Lord Tennyson's work Poems (1st edition, 1842, 2 volumes; 4th edition, 1846, 2 volumes; and 8th edition, 1853). It can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at Google Books, the HathiTrust Digital Library, and the Internet Archive:

The later editions contain new poems, and revised versions of some of the poems published in the 1st edition.

The template takes the following parameters:

• |edition= – mandatory in some cases: if quoting from the 4th edition (1846) specify |edition=4th, and if quoting from the 8th edition (1853), specify |edition=8th. If this parameter is omitted, the template defaults to the 1st edition (1842).
• |1= or |volume= – mandatory in some cases: if quoting from the 1st or 4th edition, the volume number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals, either |volume=I or |volume=II.
• |2=, |poem=, or |title= – mandatory: the name of the poem quoted from. If quoting from one of the poems indicated in the second column of the following table, give the parameter the value indicated in the first column:

• |part= or |stanza= – if the poem quoted from is divided into parts or stanzas, use this parameter to specify the part or stanza number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals.
• |section= – if a poem (such as The Day-Dream) is divided into unnumbered sections, use this parameter to specify the name of the section quoted from.
• |3= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory in some cases: the page number(s) quoted from in Arabic or (in the 8th edition) lowercase Roman numerals, as the case may be. When quoting a range of pages, note the following:
  • Separate the first and last pages of the range with an en dash, like this: |pages=10–11 or |pages=v–vi.
  • You must also use |pageref= to specify the page number that the template should link to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears).

This parameter must be specified to have the template link to an online version of the work.

• |line= or |lines= – the line number(s) quoted from. When quoting a range of line numbers, separate the first and last numbers of the range with an en dash, like this: |lines=10–11.
• |4=, |text=, or |passage= – the passage to be quoted.
• |footer= – a comment on the passage quoted.
• |brackets= – use |brackets=on to surround a quotation with brackets. This indicates that the quotation either contains a mere mention of a term (for example, "some people find the word manoeuvre hard to spell") rather than an actual use of it (for example, "we need to manoeuvre carefully to avoid causing upset"), or does not provide an actual instance of a term but provides information about related terms.
