No indentation in ongoing line in Verse environment

Question

The verse environment looks good to me for highlighting and referencing a paragraph. However, I don't like that it automatically indents what doesn't fit in an ongoing line. I would like the overall thing to be indented, but no additional indentation for everything following line one.

\documentclass[a4paper, 12pt, twoside=on]{scrreprt}

\begin{document}
\begin{verse}
\label{HeisenbergVsObserver}
The uncertainty principle, however, states that there is a fundamental limit to how objectively well-defined these two non-commuting observables can be at any given time.
\end{verse}
\end{document}

results in:

As an aside: what do I have to do for stackexchange to compile and show the output of the latex document:

\documentclass[a4paper, 12pt, twoside=on]{scrreprt}

\begin{document} \begin{verse} \label{HeisenbergVsObserver} The uncertainty principle, however, states that there is a fundamental limit to how objectively well-defined these two non-commuting observables can be at any given time. \end{verse} \end{document}

Answer 1

Here is the definition of the verse environment in the article class: \newenvironment{verse} {\let\=@centercr \list{}{\setlength\itemsep{\z@}% \setlength\itemindent{-15\p@}% \setlength\listparindent{\itemindent}% \setlength\rightmargin{\leftmargin}% \addtolength\leftmargin{15\p@}}% \item[]} {\endlist}

You can do what you want by changing it this way in your preamble:

\makeatletter \newenvironment{myepigraph} {\let\=@centercr \list{}{\setlength\itemsep{\z@}% \setlength\itemindent{\z@}% \setlength\listparindent{\itemindent}% \setlength\rightmargin{\leftmargin}% \addtolength\leftmargin{15\p@}}% \item[]} {\endlist}
