Probably, the easiest way to do that will be to add a bit of a markup. 
Something like (untested)

\setuplines[after={\blank[small]}] %or after=\smallskip
\defineframedtext[stanza][width=\textwidth,before=\startlines,after=\stoplines]

\startstanza
....
....
\stopstanza

Since framedtext is a box, it will not break across pages.
