If you want to assign both stanzas to one variable, then it is necessary 
to wrap them. As they are occuring simultaneously, this is done with << >>:

text = <<
  \lyricmode {
    \set stanza = #"1. "
    here are               | %m1
    the words              | %m2
  }
  \lyricmode {
    \set stanza = #"2. "
    here are               | %m1
    more words             | %m2
  }
