Maybe you could use in your .html file:

<p class="verse">Now Boney's away from his warring and fighting,<br />
He has gone to a place, where there is naught can delight him,<br />
He may sit there &amp; dwell, on the glories he has seen oh,<br />
While forlorn he will mourn, on the Isle of Saint Helena.</p>

<p class="verse">No more in Saint Cloud, will he appear in great splendour,<br />
Nor come forth from the crowd, like the great Alexander,</p>

And in your css stylesheet:

p.verse {
    margin: 0 0 1em 0;
    text-indent: 0;
}
