It's a bit ugly, but if the poem consists of individual stanzas, you can
put each stanza in an non-bordered frame.
e.g.:
% Set up the lines environment to put the contained lines in a frame so
they are kept together
\setuplines[indenting={yes,small,even}, <-- whatever options you want
before={\startframedtext[frame=off]},
after=\stopframedtext]
% Then wrap your stanzas in individual line environments
\startlines
A maiden fair was seated there,
Her hair of fine-spun gold.
Azure eyes so clear and bright,
So wondrous to behold.
\stoplines
A frame will never be split across pages.
BTW this "trick"is on the wiki on the "Verse" page.
