You can create your own lines environment with the \definelines command. The
indentation of the second line can be achieved in two different ways, the first
is to indent the whole block on the left side with the \startnarrow command and
use a negative paragraph indentation for the first line.
\usemodule[visual]
\definelines
[verse]
[before={\startnarrow[left=1em,default=left]},
after=\stopnarrow,
indenting={yes,-1em}]
\starttext
\startverse
\fakewords{10}{20}
\fakewords{10}{20}
\fakewords{10}{20}
\stopverse
\stoptext
The second method uses a low level method (context doesn’t provide its own
interface for this) to set the \hangafter and \hangindent registers which
indents the second line of each entry.
\usemodule[visual]
\define\VerseAlignment
{\hangafter = 1 \relax
\hangindent = 1em\relax}
\definelines[verse][command=\VerseAlignment]
\starttext
\startverse
\fakewords{10}{20}
\fakewords{10}{20}
\fakewords{10}{20}
\stopverse
\stoptext

It’s ConTeXt with a C.
