That's right. I meant to write \gdef, but it was somehow omitted from the posted version.

end of each line of the text of \poem. For example,


{\obeylines

\def\poem{%

  line one

  line two

}

}

which may, of itself, cause problems, since the \def won't be global ...  Better might be :


\begingroup
\obeylines

\global \def \poem %
    {%

          line one

          line two

    }%

\endgroup
