Yes, the first two lines in the example above are actually the same verse, and are only printed as two lines because of limited space. With a different text width you could have:
Code:
First verse is a long line that could be
[broken due to limited space
Second verse shorter, indented.

Unfortunately, I don't think this is possible with current ebook formats. Even with the full HTML5+CSS you probably need some javascript. (Maybe with ePub 3 and some reader that supports javascript...).
The old mobi format used to have the possibility of right-aligned broken lines (
mobipocket.com, see bottom of the page), but without the bracket, and I didn't see it working in the PC reader or in my Cybook Gen3.
For ePub, I made a suggestion
4 years ago, but it doesn't seem anything has happened to it since then...
