1.) I think my heart stopped. I couldn't believe it.
2.) Heck, yeah, it works.
3.) The punctuation achieves the same effect as slo-mo in a movie -- you

All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.
