Traditional
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.
