Default line spacing is often a percentage of the character size (e.g. 120%). Using a large character on a line (e.g. raised capital) increases the line spacing, making the first line of the first paragraph become separated from the other lines. This is bad.

Applying a max-height 90% will fix it sometimes. But it isn't reliable.
[QUOTE=Doonge;3324748]- - Can't you just use 'text-align: right;' and some right-padding/margin for your poetry?QUOTE]
No, you can't.
Lines in poetry are usually left-aligned, sometimes with additional fixed space at the start of some lines. If the display width and font size cause a line to wrap, ONLY the wrapped portion should be right aligned, to indicate that it's a wrap and not a new line.

I wandered lonely as a
cloud
That floats on high o'er
vales and hills
