I have uploaded verse.tar.gz to the UK /incoming directory. Please us this to replace the current macros/latex/contrib/supported/verse.

The distribution is under the LPPL.

From the README:

Verse provides some aids for typesetting simple verse (poems).

Changes in version 2.0 (2002/03/24) o Lines in a poem may be numbered (and label ed) o Verses may be numbered or otherwise distinguished o Line-end macros (\ and friends) work as advertised.

i've installed the files as requested; thanks for the upload.
