I meant something like:

---
This is the first line of the first paragraph of a chapter. It isn't indented.
   This is normal text. The first line is indented. We will interrupt it with
a sample from a flemish folk song (you can't see the right indenting;
and it is not really necessary):

   Allen die willen naar Island gaan
   om kabeljauw te vangen
   en te vissen met verlangen.

   Naar Iseland, naar Iseland,
   naar Island toe;
   tot 33 reizen zij zijn nog niet moe.

And this is normal text again.

It doesn't work -- TeX claims some errors...

\startverse % was: \begin{verse}
Allen die willen naar Island gaan \\
om kabeljauw te vangen \\
en te vissen met verlangen.

Naar Iseland, naar Iseland, \\
naar Island toe; \\
tot 33 reizen zij zijn nog niet moe.
\stopverse % was: \end{verse}

(verse is a standard environment of LaTeX)

But I removed all \\ now.
