Hi Michael,
not sure what you mean.
Perhaps:
verseTwo = \lyricmode {
\set stanza = #"2. "
Sing8 lull-8 a-8 by!4.
lull-8 a-8 by8 ba-4 by,8 sweet-4 ly-8 sleep-4 ing:8
sing8 lull-8 a-8 by!4.
Hush,8 do8 not8 wake4 the8 in-4 fant8 king;4
\markup {\dynamic " p "}8 soon will come sor-4 row8 with4 the8 mor-4 ning8
soon8 will8 come8 bit-4 ter8 grief4 and8 weep-4. ing:4.
sing2 lull-8 a-8 by.4.
}
HTH,
Harm
