Julie: "And a poem that ends on the word "thee" " ... not to mention the fact that the final couplet uses "you", "ye" and "thee" indiscriminately and inconsistently.

Dear John, when you were here, we truly knew ye.
Forever through your words, we’ll always keep thee.

Why on earth didn't the writer simply stick to "knew you" and "keep you"?
