A verse is a group of lines that form a metrical rhythm unit—usually spoken once before or after a chorus in a song. In some cases, a piece will only contain a verse due to the unique nature of the composition. A verse within a song is identified additionally following the transition of the beat associated. The composer will get across the details of their message within their verse as they describe the situation in a more complex rhythmic nature.
