The problem posed now is to set the following pieces of verse:
\bigskip\bigskip
{\obeylines\raggedright
In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
A stately pleasure dome decree,
Where Alph the sacred river ran,
Through caverns measureless to man,
Down to a sunless sea.}
{\leftskip 0pt plus 1fill\rightskip=0pt(Samuel Taylor Coleridge)}
% NOT \leftskip 0pt plus \hsize\rightskip=0pt(Samuel Taylor Coleridge)
\bigskip\bigskip
{\obeylines
\everypar={\leftskip = 20pt plus 1fil\rightskip = 30pt plus 1fil}
When the kitchen boiler burst,
     Father simply sat and cursed,
	    Mother, with a kinder feeling,
	    Wiped the housemaid of the ceiling.
