Could somebody tell me how to make lines of poetry all left justify, but indent slightly if a line is too long and rolls over, or if the reader increases the font size and makes lines roll over?

I've no idea how to do this, I'm afraid, but will be following this thread to see if someone else knows.
All I do is to left justify the text, set the indent to zero, and let it break where it breaks. The authors I work for have accepted that, but they don't know any better.
