For what it may be worth, I have two books of poetry where the creator used a table for the stanza/verse numbers. The stanza numbers are in a narrow column on the left hand edge and the rest of the screen width is the 2nd column for the verses. I've also seen on Gutenberg, a version of a Shakespeare's play with the numbers on the right hand side.
So yes, it can be done but it's a nasty manual procedure in the two books I have.
