Line break for poetry

Hello, I need to edit several poetry books and convert them to epub format. The problem I run into is that I need to somehow indicate when a verse (line) ends, and depending on the device and font size the verses (lines) could be broken and the words that don't fit go to the next line.

I would like that if that happens, the words that do not fit in the line go automatically to the next line (which it already happens) but with some indentation, like for example:

Quote:
When a verse does not fit in the
same line
it should be shown with some indentation
Or that those words are displayed to the right of the line with "[" to indicate it:

Quote:
When a verse does not fit in the
[same line
it should be shown with an opening bracket
Any of these solutions would work for me, and I would like to know if this is possible to configure somehow in Calibre, Sigil or in another way. I don't know how to code CSS but I suspect that maybe it can be solved using CSS code.

I found an old thread (from 2013) in this forum in which some solutions were presented but it was said that there was still no simple solution, and I think that perhaps now there may be already some possible resolution to this problem.

Thanks for everything and best regards.
